Excerpt from Woman's Worth and Worthlessness: The Complement to a New Atmosphere
I have called my book "The Complement to a New Atmosphere," to remove, if possible, the misapprehension of those who have given it the honor of their attention as it has appeared from week to week, and who have been disturbed by what has seemed to them a change of views.
Strictly speaking, it is impossible to obtain, and insolent to undertake to present an adequate idea of any subject or object without changing ones views. We are directed by very high authority to walk about Zion, and go round about her, not stand still and stare at her from one point. I sup pose Zion looked very different seen from the Mount of Olives and the Fount of Gihon, but it was Zion all the while.
Change of views involves more or less change of opinions - is, indeed, made for the purpose of forming opinion. Looking but casually at Woman Suffrage, I regarded it with indifference. From a careful survey, I can not regard it but with apprehension. The more closely I scrutinize it, the more formidable seems to me the revolution which it implies, the more onerous seem the duties which it imposes.
