Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Women and Men, chapter 3 (search)
to the frog who would a-wooing go : Pray, Mistress Mouse, are you within? -- Heigho! says Rowley. Oh yes, kind sir; I'm sitting to spin -- With a Rowley, Powley, etc. But as no amount of spinning saved that excellent matron from the terrible cat, so Harriet Martineau and other literary women might be as good housekeepers as they pleased without clearing themselves from reproach. Indeed, it is rather pathetic to notice how the pioneer women authors in America, such as Mrs. Child and Miss Leslie, endeavored to disarm public judgment by printing some Frugal Housewife or Seventy-five Receipts before showing their heads as writers. Even now the practice is not discontinued, and Marion Harland, with all her wide popularity, has to wind up with a practical work on Breakfast, dinner, and Supper to demonstrate that, though an author, she still has the virtues of her sex; We have not yet — outgrown that profound remark of Fredrika Bremer that a woman may do almost anything she pleases
