The Duties of Women (1881)
Original: «The making of a true home is really our peculiar and inalienable right; a right which no man can take from us, for a man can no more make a home than a drone can make a hive. He can build a castle or a palace, but, poor creature! be he wise as Solomon and rich as Croesus, he cannot turn it into a home. No masculine mortal can do that. It is a woman, and only a woman; a woman all by herself if she likes, and without any man to help her, who can turn a house into a home».
