奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
Only a few years ago marriage was the only "sphere" open to girls, and the single woman had to face the disapproval of her friends. Lessing said: "The woman who thinks is like a man who puts on rouge, ridiculous." Not many years have elapsed since the ambitious woman who ventured to study or write would keep a bit of embroidery at hand to throw over her book or manuscript when callers entered. Dr. Gregory said to his daughters: "If you happen to have any learning, keep it a profound secret from the men, who generally look with a jealous and malignant eye on a woman of great parts and a cultivated understanding." Women who wrote books in those days would deny the charge as though a public disgrace.

白话
就在几十年前，婚姻还是女孩唯一被认可的“天地”，单身女性要面对亲友的非议。莱辛说：“会思考的女人，就像涂胭脂的男人一样可笑。”不久之前，有抱负的女性读书写作，还得在手边放块刺绣，客人一来就盖住书稿。格雷戈里医生对女儿们说：你要是有学问，得对男人严格保密，因为他们对才学出众的女人多半又嫉妒又敌视。那时写书的女性甚至会否认，仿佛那是公开的耻辱。这段材料提醒我们：今天看似理所当然的受教育权，是前人顶着偏见争来的；评价任何时代的“常识”，都要看它排斥了谁。
