RETROGRESSION OF THE AMERICAN WOMAN; FLORA MCDONALD THOMPSON; The North American Review, November 1900
Abstract
I HAVE not encountered the ghost of my great-grandmother, but something akin to it which has startled me no less. I have been face to face with the American woman of little more than half a century ago, who rose to greet me from the dusty pages of De Tocqueville's "Democracy," and who, by the light of contrast, has caused me to gasp with astonishment, beholding the degeneracy of her end-of-the-century descendant.
PROGRESS OF THE AMERICAN WOMAN; ELIZABETH CADY STANTON.; The North American Review, December 1900
Abstract
An article, by Flora McDonald Thompson, entitled "Retrogression of the American Woman," which was published in the November number of the REVIEW, contains many startling assertions, which, if true, would be the despair of philosophers. The title itself contradicts the facts of the last half century.
