Chinese WomanhoodFb&c Limited, 15 มิ.ย. 2015 - 136 หน้า Excerpt from Chinese Womanhood The Lady with a Flower in Her Hair is my epigrammatic way of thinking of the citizeness of the Flowery Kingdom, for all women, from the highest to the lowest, love to wear some bright blossom in their coiffure. To me there is a secret and indescribable charm about the Chinese woman of to-day. With her stately manners and simple, pleasing qualities, she stands out almost as the contemporaneous ancestress of the whole modern world, for in studying China we realize that the points of difference are due more to differences of historical stages than to radical dissimilarity of race.
