The Servant Class
By Edna Kenton
(See page 71)
Women are thinking at last, not in men’s terms, but in their own, and that in a slave class is always dynamic.... Because it has vision where the other has archaism, the “lower class” is become the higher class, self-conscious and self-poised. Not only youth, but childhood, is rebel. Art has become anarchic, and as mysteriously as Nature works everywhere, so has she worked with the servant half of the human race, stirring it to self-consciousness and action; helping to keep alive the tiny torch of revolt.
