56 Bernard, The Female World, p. 543. The evolution of this anecdote in Bernard's memory is revealing. In one autobiographical sketch, the antifeminist is a "gentlewoman" ["Twentieth Century Girlhood," p. 7], but in later versions, a male. The teachers likewise evolve from "suffragists, their version of feminists" (p. 7) to "staunch feminists."
