Public Activity 107
an "unmarried woman" handled the delicate
questions which in "sanctified silence" ought
to be hidden from profane glances. If we
could have put Doctor, instead of Miss, before
her name, probably the impression would
have been another.
For those who have thought at all about
their life, especially as sex-beings, nimiberless
questions must have arisen for married and
unmarried alike. We ought to be glad that
there are women, even without a scholastic
degree, who have courage to communicate
what life has taught them, and certainly not
all physicians, sociologists, and philosophers
have penetrated the depths of these problems
as have some lay women. As regards Ellen
Key, she has touched on these intimate and
delicate subjects as only a master in the art of
language could do.
A very prominent man, speaking of her,
said: "What most surprises me is that those
who reproach Ellen Key for immoral tenden-
cies are the very ones who, through their own
interpretation, impute vilencss and indecency
to her utterances, which otherwise plainly
show a complete inexperience of the sensual
and vulgar phases of life. Those who will
not understand her ou^ht not to read her."
