This quote from the article:

There was a great quote (from Gertrude) about the (Chicago Public Schools superintendent Ella Flagg Young):

“It was my idea of a good time to see men afraid of a woman.”



However, overall this is a damned sad story: so much talent extinguished. Of course, it is logical to think that they put her away because of what she dared to say. The observation of one of the publishers that she had endured so much and didn't psychologically break seem pertinent: so why then?
