Women should be trained for motherhood rather than girls for catching a husband
Drawn from what Charlotte Perkins Gilman said
What Charlotte Perkins Gilman actually said
- Charlotte Perkins Gilman American writer and feminist theorist (1860 to 1935)
Motherhood is the work of grown women, not of half-children; and, when we honestly care as much for motherhood as we pretend, we shall train the woman for her duty, not the girl for her guileless manœuvres to secure a husband.
