Summary

• WL George – The Intelligence of WomanMen have been found to deny woman an intellect they have credited her with instinct, with intuition, with a capacity to correlate cause and effect much as a dog connects its collar with a walk.

• But intellect in its broadest sense, the capacity consecutively to plan and steadfastly to execute, they have often denied her.

• The days are not now so dark.

• Woman has a place in the state, a place under, but still a place.

• Man has recognized her value without coming to understand her much better, and so we are faced with a paradox:while man accords woman an improved social position, he continues to describe her as illogical, petty, jealous, vain, untruthful, disloyal to her own sex quite as frequently he charges her with being over-loyal to her own sex: there is no pleasing him.Also he discerns in this unsatisfactory creature extreme unselfishness, purity, capacity for self-sacrifice.
