Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Maternal instinct, merely as an instinct, is unworthy of our superstitious reverence.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The first duty of a human being is to assume the right functional relationship to society - more briefly, to find your real job, and do it.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
It is the duty of youth to bring fresh new powers to bear on Social progress. Each generation of young people should be to the world like a vast reserve force to a tired army. They should life the world forward. That is what they are for.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
