Liu E (1857–1909)“Spiritual nature gives birth to feeling; feeling gives birth to weeping. One kind is strong; one kind is weak. When an addlepated boy loses a piece of fruit, he cries; when a silly girl loses a hairpin, she weeps…if weeping takes the form of tears, its strength is small. If weeping does not take the form of tears, its strength is great: it reaches farther” (p. 605).
Pandita Ramabai (1858–1922)
“Although no law has ever said so, the popular belief is that a woman can have no salvation unless she be formally married” (p. 616).
