| | New Woman, from The New Morality and the Working Class |
 | | A woman who voluntarily dismisses the longed-for encounter with the beloved with its promise of joy, only because she is used to doing her writing in the morning, only because she is pained at the thought of these lost hours taken from work. |
 | | For the woman of the past, the infidelity or the loss of her beloved was the worst possible disaster, in imagination and in fact. |
 | | The psychology of the new, independent, single woman, according to type, is reflected in the image of the rest of her contemporaries: the traits of women, who belong to the army of those earning their own livelihood, formed by life itself, by degrees also begin to be the hallmark of the others. |
