Q1. "स्त्रियांची जात फार अबला असल्यामुळे लोभी व धाडसी पुरुषांनी मोठी कावेबाजी करून (a) कोणत्याही कामामध्ये स्त्रीजातीची संमती घेतल्याशिवाय एकंदर सर्व पुरुषांनी आपलेच घोडे पुढें दामटले. त्यांस मानवी हक्क समजू देऊ नये, या इराद्याने त्यांस विद्या शिकविण्यास प्रतिबंध केला. यामुळे एकंदर सर्व स्त्रियांवर अशा तऱ्हेचा जुलमी प्रसंग येऊन गुदरला." 10 " ‘रत्नमाळा’चि पोथी वाचूनि केशोबासिं भटोबासाते पुसिले : हा भटो यैसेचि ‘उद्धरण’ बांधो : (b) तंव भटोबासिं म्हणितले : नको गा केशवदेया : येणे माझिया म्हांतारीया नागवतिल : मग 10 केशोबास संस्कृतबंधु न करीतीचि :" “स्त्री ने अविवाहित असतां मातृत्त्व पत्करले तें वस्तुत: पाप नाहीं. तें पाप समजले जातें याचें (c) कारण त्याचा परिणाम इष्ट होत नाही, हें होय. स्त्री लग्नाशिवाय पुरुषापार्शी राहिली तर त्या स्त्रीला पुरुषाच्या इस्टेटीवर अधिकार उत्पन्न होत नाही; व त्या स्त्रीपासून उत्पन्न होणाऱ्या प्रजेस बापाच्या इस्टेटीवर हक्क उत्पन्न होत नाही; म्हणून विवाहाशिवाय प्रजोत्पत्ति निषेधिली गेली 10 आहे.” “रंगी हतबुद्ध झाली. तिला हुंदका आवरला नाही. ती काहीशा कळवळयानं पुन्हा त्या मुलाला (d) विनवू लागली. पण सारं व्यर्थ. तो जागचा हलायला तयारच होईना. तिला एकाएकी बा ची आठवण झाली. आपण त्याला एकटं सोडून आल्याचं तिला जाणवले. त्याच काही बरंवाईट 10 तरी नाही ना झालं ?" “सगळ्या मर्यादा धडाधड झुगारून द्यायच्या हेच तेवढं मॉडर्न. चार लोकात छाप (e) पाडण्यासारखं ज्ञान दाखवणं हे स्मार्ट. जाड्या जाड्या पुस्तकात डोकं खूपसून बसून ‘डोंट बॉदर मी नाऊ' असं म्हणणे म्हणजे स्वतंत्र व्यक्तिमत्त्वाची जोपासना. टाईपरायटरवर चार पानं खरडून कुठं छापून आणणं ही विद्वत्ता. मुकाट पोटासाठी उद्योग करणारी, कुणाच्या अध्यात मध्यात न पडणारी, इंटरनॅशनल पॉलिटिक्सचं स्पेलिंगसुद्धा करता न येणारी माणसं तुमच्या लेखी निर्बुद्ध ओंडके. असू देत मग. मी त्यांच्यातलीच आहे." 10 2 STH-D-MRTH
