There is something in what you say… but not everything. And yet, I wish I had the bravery to speak my opinion as surely  as you do. You seem tempered, Watson. Is everything alright? I do not think it is good for a man to become so upset over his opinions. Everything is better understood… View More

Dear Mr. Chettam, I don’t know why you are so confused on why Miss Loy is saying these things. She has obviously been in bad situations with men and feels the need to be independent and detached from all others. If men are supposed to take care of women, like you said, why is she… View More

Good Heavens, Fred! Easy, now. I know we have not been of each other’s acquaintances for long, though I do feel it necessary to intrude into this conversation. My thoughts and remarks should only be a moment. Loy’s work seems to come off that of a charlatan, you know. She speaks of reform- this is… View More

Miss Loy, I can see why you think that women don’t need to have a man in their life to become an independent person. If I was hurt in a way that you were, I might have the same feelings that you do. Like you, I like to think of myself as a woman who… View More

I am afraid I do not understand where Miss Loy is coming from. She seems very angry at men, but I cannot fathom why. Men in my day have done nothing but make sure a woman is well taken care of, can she not see that is a man’s purpose in life? Perhaps she is… View More

Oh Mina Loy, what an independent view you seem to have. Although, I do believe if you would allow yourself to find a husband you would be much happier. It is an honor to stand by a man’s side and raise a family with him. I do believe you would think so as well if… View More

I do believe that women can embrace knowledge and learning as well as being good wives and mothers.  When I was married to Mr. Casaubon I wished to learn all of his great wisdom, much to his dismay.  I merely wanted to help him write his great work and in order to do so I… View More

Honestly Celia, why should a woman not help contribute to society.  We are equally as intelligent and our insight could prove helpful to another, be it a man or a woman.  I do not understand how you and uncle find my desires foolish.  There is more out there in life than getting married right away… View More

Dear Miss Loy, I rather enjoyed reading your sentiments on feminism and equality.  I agree that women should be allowed to do just as much work as the man.  There are so many things that I wish I could do to help others, but I have no means to do so.  I tried to get… View More
