Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman on Her Own, False Gods and the Red Robe: Three Plays We are confronted at the present time by the woman who is anxious to lay by means for her own support irrespective of the protection of her husband. In this play I have indicated the tendency of this difficulty and the consequent troubles which the older civilizations will bring upon themselves when the woman's standing as a worker is generally acknowledged. My conclusion, namely, that all these complications and troubles are, at present at any rate, owing to the education of the man, points to the remedy, as far as I can see it. I must inform my readers that the version of La Femme Seule, a translation of which is now published in this volume, has, so far, not appeared in France and is unknown there; at least as regards the larger part of the third act. I might, did I think it advisable, reproduce in its entirety a text which certain timidities have led me to emasculate. As between the man and the woman the ideal situation would, no doubt, be a rehabilitation of the old custom - the man at the workshop and the woman in the home; thus reserving for her the holiest and most important of all missions - the one which insures the future of the race by her enlightened care of the moral and physical health of her children. Unfortunately it happens that the wages of the working-man are insufficient for the support of a family, and the poor woman is therefore compelled to go to the factory. The results are deplorable.
