The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Woman and Labour by Olive Schreiner: an activity that is in harmony with the entire knowledge and the entire
instinct of the entire human race, is to exist. It is here that the man
cannot act for the woman nor the woman for the man; but both must interact.
It is here that each sexual half of the race, so closely and
indistinguishably blended elsewhere, has its own distinct contribution to
make to the sum total of human knowledge and human wisdom. Neither is the
woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, the completed human
intelligence.
Therefore;--We claim, today, all labour for our province! Those large
fields in which it would appear sex plays no part, and equally those
smaller in which it plays a part.
