As to Types . . .

"I have met with women whom I really think would like to be married to a Poem, and to be given away by a Novel." John Keats.

"It is the popular women who make shipwreck of their lives, and the unpopular ones who sail safely into pleasant havens. My experience is that the attractive woman gets the nice little things and the unattractive ones the nice big things in this world." Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler.

"Why should a woman with a comfortable home, a good husband and sweet children permit the demon of unrest to enter her mind and destroy her peace, because she cannot astonish the world with splendid toilets, and entertain her friends in a villa at Newport, or buy a castle in Europe, as some of our multi-millionaires are doing? Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

"It is an uncommon event to meet a woman who, if put into the confessional of conscience, would not own that at some period of her life she had wished she had been born a boy." Marian Harland.
