I wish I could upvote as often as I watched this one. I wish you sucess in all your efforts, particularly because you come across as a lovely role model for young ladies to look to. Well done Miss Alice, you've had a busy schedule lately.

Well done Alice. Lovely setting, excellent presentation and narrative, inspiring. Thank you. One has to understand that the jump to education and degrees for our sisters and daughters could not have been achieved earlier. You see, technology had to make us wealthy, before electric lighting, running water, bathrooms, sewer systems, steam trains and steam engines, mass production of foods and goods, had made us wealthy enough to have the resources to build such places. This allowed women to be able to travel, and travel more safely, to be chaperoned over distances and at a distance, and to be housed and protected in reasonable conditions in an all girls college, with a lock on the door. The progress of mankind takes a whole lot of work, and is in no way a natural right. There is only one 'right' garunteed to us by nature. It is the right to die. This is garunteed alone, everything else is the result of effort, and if it's not your efforts, then you are benefiting from someone else's sweat and effort. This is why, when you receive an upbringing and education you didn't wholly pay for, however small, you are indebted, and, morally obliged to return that service in kind to the community. So before we claim anything as a 'right', we need to ask, who paid, who earned, whose efforts are we demanding for ourselves? Because a right by definition is something we are justly entitled to, and to be justly entitled to anything, one must have earned its value. Everything else is a gift, is grace. I really enjoyed your call to inspiration at the end of your reading. Very very good, well written, timely and appropriate. ❤

Where does one buy the book?

[@mrme3717]

Google Alice Loxton 18. You'll find plenty of links, such as Blackwell's, and if your lucky you might even score a signed hardback.
