Opening lines

“जिस देशमें नैतिकताका अर्थ बहुत ही संकुचित दायरेमें लिया जाता है …”—नये रूसकी एक महिलाने भारतीय स्त्रियोंकी सभामें बोलते हुए एक बार कहा था।

The summary

‘ओसवाल’ पत्रसे उद्धृत इस मार्मिक लेखमें लेखिका पर्दा-प्रथाका तीव्र विरोध करती हैं। वे पूछती हैं कि पर्देमें बन्द, संसारसे अनजान स्त्री कैसे कष्टोंका सामना करेगी, पुत्रोंको वीर बनाएगी या अपने सतीत्वकी रक्षा करेगी। पर्देको नैतिकताका आधार मानना हास्यास्पद है; यह स्त्रियोंको जीवित दफ़नानेवाली क़ब्र है, जिसे शीघ्र समाप्त करना चाहिए।
