On women's rights, Lady Huggins writes: "I entirely agree with what you say about the better education of women "and the wider spheres of influence over them", forming one of the most striking features of this century ... To my mind, just at present, I think there is a need for care about the women movement. Everything cannot be attained at once; and it seems to me that there is danger of its being forgotten that the past of women - I mean the long long past reaching back to earliest woman - has had a meaning. Even intellectually I am persuaded that the apparently uncared for past of women, has had a meaning - a purpose - it is with humanity as with the individual. Suffering - Disadvantage - in the end leads to power ... Woman is an amazing creature. She has always largely made the world. In the future she must make it more and more."
