by Margaret Sanger IntroductionDedication To Alice Drysdale Vickery Whose prophetic vision of liberated womanhood has been an inspiration “I dream of a world in which the spirits of women are flames stronger than fire, a world in which modesty has become courage and yet remains modesty, a world in which women are as unlike men as ever they were in the world I sought to destroy, a world in which women shine with a loveliness of self-revelation as enchanting as ever the old legends told, and yet a world which would immeasurably transcend the old world in the self-sacrificing passion of human service. I have dreamed of that world ever since I began to dream at all.” -HavelockEllis

To Alice Drysdale Vickery

Whose prophetic vision of liberated womanhood has been an inspiration

 "I dream of a world in which the spirits of women are flames
stronger than fire, a world in which modesty has become courage
and yet remains modesty, a world in which women are as unlike
men as ever they were in the world I sought to destroy, a world
in which women shine with a loveliness of self-revelation as
enchanting as ever the old legends told, and yet a world which
would immeasurably transcend the old world in the self-sacrificing
passion of human service.  I have dreamed of that world ever since
I began to dream at all."
