The world in the past has been ruled by force, and man
has dominated over woman by reason of his more forceful
and aggressive qualities both of body and mind. But
the balance is already shifting; force is losing its dominance,
and mental alertness, intuition, and the spiritual
qualities of love and service, in which woman is strong,
are gaining ascendancy. Hence the new age will be an
age less masculine and more permeated with the feminine
ideals, or, to speak more exactly, will be an age in which
the masculine and feminine elements of civilization will
be more evenly balanced. -- Star of the West, viii, No. 3,
p. 4 [from report of remarks made abose the S.S. Cedric
on arrival in New York].
