Mary A. Ward Quotations

But hardly any of us were at all on fire for woman suffrage, wherein the Oxford educational movement differed greatly from the Cambridge movement.

English girls' schools to-day providing the higher education are, so far as my knowledge goes, worthily representative of that astonishing rise in the intellectual standards of women which has taken place in the last half-century.

But to me, in my twenties, these great names were not merely names or symbols, as they are to the men and women of the present generation.

How little those who are school-girls of to-day can realize what it was to be a school-girl in the fifties or the early sixties of the last century!

The Life of the Master, by Evelyn Abbott and Lewis Campbell, is to me one of the most interesting biographies of our generation.
