In spite of the circumstances which tend to cause divergence in the tone of mind, the habits of thought, and the opinions of men and women, it is a matter of fact that these do not differ more among persons of opposite sexes than they do among persons of the same—that comparing any one man with any one woman, the difference between them will not be greater than may be found between two men or two women.

One of the most natural and obvious divisions of labour between the two sexes, is that which assigns to men the occupations of soldiers and sailors. Women would seem to be unfitted physically to engage in them. But do we find a corresponding mental or moral disability? On the contrary, instances are by no means uncommon of the natural taste of a woman leading her so decidedly to one or other of these professions that she has overcome all obstacles and actually engaged in them. Disguised as men, women have more than once been detected as soldiers and sailors, some having performed their duties creditably, and maintained the secret of their sex for years. We may assume that all have not been detected, and that a careful scrutiny might possibly reveal others scattered among the ships and armies of the world. These instances are not adduced with a view of proving that it is desirable to open such professions to women, but merely in support of my proposition that sex does not extend to mind. As these military and naval heroines were feminine in body they would have had minds to correspond if it were truly a law of nature that there was such a thing as sex in taste and intellect.

Needlework is a trade seemingly peculiarly adapted to the powers and tastes of women. Yet surely it is not hard necessity which leads so many men to embrace it. Men can do it, and do it well, and as there is no legal nor social restraint on them, they set to work to make clothes, I presume with satisfaction to themselves, as well as to those who employ them.

Many professions are common to both sexes; and the votaries* of art and literature are taken from the ranks of men and women indiscriminately, though the opportunities of study and the prospect of reward are greatly in favour of the dominant sex.

If we take an assemblage of persons of opposite sexes and test the difference of thought and opinion existing among them by putting before them any proposition on which opposite views can be held, I believe it would be impossible to find one which would range all the men on one side, and all the women on the other. If it were true that there is a specific difference, however slight, between the minds of men and women, it would be possible to find such a proposition, if we took one which corresponded to this distinction. When a naturalist seeks to group a number of individuals into a distinct class, he fixes on some character, or set of characters, common to them all, and distinguishing them from other individuals. When he finds such a group distinctly defined he calls it a species. But when he finds two individuals differing very widely from each other, yet so connected by numerous intermediate forms that he can pass from one extreme to the other without a violent break anywhere in the series, he considers them to be of one and the same kind. Taking the conventional masculine type of mind as one end of the scale, and the conventional feminine type as the other, I maintain that they are connected by numerous intermediate varieties distributed indiscriminately in male and female bodies; that what is called a masculine mind is frequently found united to a feminine body, and sometimes the reverse; and that there is no necessary, nor even presumptive connexion between the sex of a human being, and the type of intellect and character he possesses.

Document A: In 1898, the battleship USS Maine was sent to Havana, Cuba, to protect U.S. interests during a Cuban revolt against Spain. On February 14, the vessel exploded and sank. Many Americans blamed Spain, and the incident helped trigger the Spanish-American War.

The excerpt below is from an official report of a U.S. Naval Court of Inquiry into the sinking of the Maine. The report was released on March 21, 1898.



“… [T]he vertical keel [of the ship] is broken in two and the flat keel is bent at an angle similar to the angle formed by the outside bottom plating. This break is now about six feet below the surface of the water, and about thirty feet above its normal position.

. . . . In the opinion of the court, the MAINE was destroyed by the explosion of a submarine mine, which caused the partial explosion of two or more of her [ammunition storage rooms] . . . . The court has been unable to obtain evidence fixing the responsibility for the destruction of the MAINE upon any person or persons.”


Document B: This excerpt appeared as a front-page story on March 6, 1898 in The San Francisco Call.


“The Call correspondent has the best of grounds for saying that Consul General Lee . . . has been quietly conducting an investigation of his own, independently of the Naval Court; that he has employed detectives who have obtained from Havana sailors evidence strongly pointing to a plot to destroy the Maine, and that he filed a report with the State Department expressing the opinion that although the Spanish Government was not in any way responsible for the Maine's destruction, it appears the work was done by Spaniards who were sympathizers of [Spain’s governor in Cuba] Weyler.”



Document C: The following is an excerpt from sworn testimony given before the U.S. Senate by Corporal Richard O’Brien in 1902. O’Brien was called to testify in a Senate investigation of alleged war crimes committed by American soldiers in the Philippine-American War.


“The first thing we saw was a boy … and the first sergeant shot at the boy. Everybody fired at him. That brought the people in the houses out . . . [and] the town was fired on … Two old men came out, hand in hand … they had a white flag, they were shot down. At the other end of the town we heard screams, and there was a woman there; she was burned up, and in her arms was a baby, and on the floor was another child … The fighting was continued until everybody had fled or everybody was killed … There was not a shot fired on the part of the Filipinos.”



Document D: The following is an excerpt from a letter to the editor of the Kansas City Journal by Colonel Frederick Funston on April 22, 1899. Funston, who was a war hero for his extensive service in the Philippine-American War, wrote and spoke often about the Philippine American War in order to increase public support for American involvement in the conflict.


“I am afraid that some people at home will lie awake [at] night worrying about the ethics of this war, thinking that our enemy is fighting for the right to self-government … [The Filipinos] have a certain number of educated leaders – educated, however, about the same way a parrot is. They are, as a rule, an illiterate, semi-savage people who are waging war not against tyranny, but against Anglo-Saxon order and decency . . . I, for one, hope that Uncle Sam will apply the chastening rod good, hard and plenty, and lay it on until they come in to the reservation and promise to be good ‘Injuns.’”
