 I trust it will not be giving away professional secrets to say that many readers would be surprised, perhaps shocked, at the questions which some newspaper editors will put to a defenseless woman under the guise of flattery. Kate Chopin (1851-1904)

How many children have you? Do you smoke cigarettes? Sorry, girls! Nothing more than a woman's conspiracy theory...

How many lovers have you had? A beautiful woman like you must have men falling all over themselves...

In Victorian times questions like those above were most certainly shocking, intrusive, offensive and demeaning.

Kate Chopin (1851-1904) I trust it is no professional secret, and nothing could be less shocking than the banal truth, that flattery will get you everywhere, with anybody, sooner or later, regardless of defenses.
