Are Women Human?

"It is perfectly idiotic to take away women's traditional occupations and then complain because she looks for new ones. Every woman is a human being--one cannot repeat that too often--and a human being must have occupation, if he or she is not to become a nuisance to the world." --Dorothy Sayers, "Are Women Human?" from Unpopular Opinions.

(Incidentally, I realized lately that my purchase of a first edition of this book from a little used bookstore in Oxford for 9 pounds was a clever purchase.)
