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."
