505 |a Women in the New World. In the beginning -- Spooled a piece- milked the cows -- Pitty your destressed daughter -- Always Leap Year -- I like this part of the world -- If ever two were one -- Foul words in my ear -- Fight, and if you can't fight, kick; if you can't kick, then bite -- The question of independence. Nor fitting for your sex -- Remember the ladies -- I would not go out unless by ye force of a bayonet -- Woman is to win every thing by peace and love -- Whatever is right for man to do, is right for woman -- All men and women are created equal -- And ain't I a woman? -- While acknowledging our mutual affection ... -- Our arrival set a buzz going -- Seeking an education. Puddings and seams -- Promise not to tell -- Much happiness -- Works by the piece -- A most extraordinary case -- All sorts of excuses -- Settling the west. They wept silently -- Left our hitherto happy home -- Four walls and the roof -- There was a prejudice against female teachers -- Hogs in my kitchen -- In America there was a great deal of gold -- A time never to be forgotten -- Work and politics. An unfortunate victim -- And learn of life from life itself -- Nothing to look forward to -- This is not the first time -- Is peace more a concern of women? -- He tore the banner down -- Race and ethnicity. True chivalry respects all womanhood -- I cannot believe that this is superstitious reverence -- Outfitted with western clothing -- A girl without a cent to her name -- They will not listen to their mother -- The modern woman. Dear Mrs. Sanger -- Extraordinarily free -- 30 cents an hour -- Having learned to stare down fear -- Simply remarkable -- You should be home with the children -- The new consciousness. The problem that has no name -- She is not free until I am free -- It's in your own head -- What got you interested in the women's movement? -- Why I want a wife -- The gay movement helped me have a family -- I just couldn't have another baby -- Women should be free to be anything they want to be -- What's ahead. I have many goals.
