[8] But admirers of Dr. Reich as an historian need not go beyond their favourite author. I know no defence of the Romans of the early Empire so ardent and so flattering as that made by Dr. Reich in his _History of Civilisation_ (p. 371). But this was written before he took up the cause of the anti-feminists. [9] _Ancient Law_, p. 154. This section of Sir Henry's fine study should be read by every feminist. [10] I leave chivalry and the early romanticism out of account deliberately. The whole movement was a cult of pretty faces and rounded limbs, leading to general laxity of morals. It essentially implied the subordination of woman in all but beauty and dress. [11] The best summary survey, in chronological order, is in Lily Braun's _Die Frauenfrage_ (1901). More detailed and partial pictures are excellently given in A. G. Mason's _Women in the Golden Ages_ (1901). [12] I take this and a few other details from Miss Helen Blackburn's _Women's Suffrage_ (1902), to which I must send the reader for a full account of the struggle in England. See, also, E. A. Pratt's _Pioneer Women in Victoria's Reign_. [13] For further details about Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah see Mrs. Borrmann Wells's _America and Woman Suffrage_ (price 1d.). [14] For further details in regard to Australia (to the year 1901) see Helen Blackburn's _Women's Suffrage_ and Mrs. Martel's _Women's Vote in Australia_. [15] This may very well be only temporary. Woman's energy has so long been absorbed in maternal and domestic work that a great diversion of it is bound at first to affect the older function. In time the organism may adapt itself to both functions. It would not concern many of us if it did not, but in any case it must be clearly understood that so slight an additional occupation as having a vote cannot for a moment be expected to have a like effect.
