absolutely heartbreaking how reading this 1905 book as a woman in 2026 feels so deeply relatable. the knowledge that you always need to be done up and look your best to be taken seriously when for a man it’s enough to exist. the fear of rejecting a man too strongly so as to not ellicit his anger or violence. not that much has changed 💔
