	In the South Seas - CHAPTER VI
		The little morsel of humanity thus celebrated in the dark hours was observed at midday playing on the green entirely naked, and equally unobserved and unconcerned.
		Little ladies who thought themselves too great to appear undraped upon so high a festival were seen to pause outside in the bright sunshine, their miniature ridis in their hand; a moment more and they were full-dressed and entered the concert-room.
		Our pride was perhaps a little modified when we were joined on our high places by a certain thriftless loafer of a white; and yet I was glad too, for the man had a smattering of native, and could give me some idea of the subject of the songs.

	Bathsua Reginald Makin (1600 - 1675?)
		Daughter of Henry Reginald, a London schoolmaster, Makin was fluent in at least seven languages: English, Latin, Greek, and French were the languages she knew best, but she also knew Syriac, Spanish, and German.
		Her proficiency in the languages, taught to her by her father, was unusual for women of that period and was a testimonial to her father's own erudition and teaching skills.
		Makin uses several techniques to convince her reader that women should be educated.

	In the South Seas - CHAPTER II
		At a word from Nakaeia's mouth the revel ended; Makin became once more an isle of slaves and of teetotalers; and on the morrow all the population must be on the roads or in the taro-patches toiling under his bloodshot eye.
		He came, summoned from the tributary rule of Little Makin: he was installed, he proved a puppet and a trembler, the unwieldy shuttlecock of orators; and the reader has seen the remains of him in his summer parlour under the name of Tebureimoa.
		Corpse was troubled with a scruple; the man from Little Makin was his adopted brother; in such a case it was not very delicate to appear at all, to strike the blow (which it seems was otherwise expected of him) would be worse than awkward.

		On the fourth day of the Makin operation, as preparations for the withdrawal of the Northern Landing Force began, regimental headquarters awoke from a calm night to discover that its wire communications with the 3d BLT were broken.

		Makin also was known for her medicinal skills (especially in treating heart problems).
		For a woman as learned as Makin, science was not learned in school but in practice: through work with an older practitioner who could train the student how to do things with the natural world.
		Despite the obstacle of little formal education and the social attitutude that women were inferior, some women did carry out scientific investigations.

	Laura E. Richards : Captain January : Chapter I. Star Bright
		There is an island off a certain part of the coast of Maine,--a little rocky island, heaped and tumbled together as if Dame Nature had shaken down a heap of stones at random from her apron, when she had finished making the larger islands which lie between it and the mainland.
		Chuckling to himself, the Captain drew up the little boat and made her fast; then, taking sundry brown-paper parcels from under the thwart, he turned and made his way up towards the lighthouse.
		On the stone stairway, and slowly descending, with steps that were meant to be stately (and which might have been so, had not the stairs been so steep, and the little legs so short) was the figure of a child: a little girl about ten years old, with a face of almost startling beauty.
