Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

Births imply homes. Homes suggest men to support them, women to
control them. If the present unrest resolves itself into a personal
question, so far as the women are concerned at least, if you are going to
get to primal things, whether she realizes it or no, what each woman
really _wants_ she learns, as Nellie Minturn learned when she took her
naked soul into the swamp and showed it to her God--what each woman
_wants_ is her man, her cave, and her baby. If the world is to prosper,
_that_ is woman's work, why don't you men who are doing big things
_realize_ it, and do yourselves what women are going to be forced from
home to _do_, mighty soon now, if you don't!"
"Well Leslie!" cried Mr. Winton.
"You said that before Daddy!" exclaimed the girl. "Yet what you truly want
of a woman is a home and children. Children imply to all men what I am to
you. If some men have not reared their children so that they receive from
them what you get from me, it is time for the men to _realize_ this, and
change their methods of _rearing_ their daughters and sons.
