Her mind must have been strained and her vitality lowered by the need of opposing this, of
disproving that. For here again we come within range of that very interesting and obscure
masculine complex which has had so much influence upon the woman's movement; that deep-
seated desire, not so much that SHE shall be inferior as that HE shall be superior, which plants
