Anne Shirley's feminism

Jane says she will devote her whole life to teaching, and never, never marry, because you are paid a salary for teaching, but a husband won’t pay you anything.

Jane dice che dedicherà tutta la sua vita all’insegnamento, che mai, mai vorrà sposarsi, perché ti pagano uno stipendio per insegnare, ma un marito non ti paga nulla.

[...]
But I don’t see why. I think women would make splendid ministers.

Perché le donne non possono essere sacerdoti, Marilla?
[...]
Ma non capisco perché. Credo che le donne sarebbero delle splendide sacerdoti.
