WOMAN CARRYING A TORCH
 
My life as a woman, belongs to the whole community.
And as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatsoever I can.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die.
For, the harder I work, the more I live.
I rejoice in life for its own sake.
Life is no "brief candle" to me.
It is a sort of splendid torch which I have for the moment.
I want to make it burn as brightly as possible
Before handing it on to future generations.
