Comment: In reply to the letter of a middle-class working woman arguing that "men do not like the modern idea of a married woman earning her living" Marsden replies with a whitmanesque praise of individual liberty as opposed to society, exalting the individual's "natural impulses". For the reader's letter - who signed herself Hospital Matron - see record 8506. |
