"Dick, boy, it's Laura Marholm Aaron's been just reading. He can spout her chapter and verse." "And with all this talk about woman we have not yet touched the hem of her garment," Graham said, winning a grateful look from Paula and Leo. "There is love," Leo breathed. "No one has said one word about love."
In any library catalogue we may find books upon books about women: physiological, sentimental, didactic, religious all manner of books about women, as such. Even to-day in the works of Marholm poor young Weininger, Moebius, and others, we find the same perpetual discussion of women as such. This is a book about men as such. It differentiates between the human nature and the sex nature.
The average man with his self-sufficiency, his ridiculously superior airs of patronage towards the female sex, is an impossibility for woman as depicted in the CHARACTER STUDY by Laura Marholm. Equally impossible for her is the man who can see in her nothing more than her mentality and her genius, and who fails to awaken her woman nature.
In her work Laura Marholm speaks of the fate of several gifted women of international fame: the genius, Eleonora Duse; the great mathematician and writer, Sonya Kovalevskaia; the artist and poet-nature, Marie Bashkirtzeff, who died so young.
About fifteen years ago appeared a work from the pen of the brilliant Norwegian, Laura Marholm, called WOMAN, A CHARACTER STUDY. She was one of the first to call attention to the emptiness and narrowness of the existing conception of woman's emancipation, and its tragic effect upon the inner life of woman.
Marholm points out at length how art again to-day gives woman a waspish waist with no abdomen, as if to carefully score away every trace of her mission; usually with no child in her arms or even in sight; a mere figurine, calculated perhaps to entice, but not to bear; incidentally degrading the artist who depicts her to a fashion-plate painter, perhaps with suggestions of the arts of toilet, cosmetics, and coquetry, as if to promote decadent reaction to decadent stimuli.
