Linda Colley: "Dalam perang melawan Perancis Revolusioner dan Napoleon...

"Dalam perang melawan Perancis Revolusioner dan Napoleon, seperti dalam banyak konflik kemudian, perempuan Inggris tampaknya tidak lebih bersifat pasifis daripada laki-laki. Sebaliknya, dan persis seperti kebanyakan pria sebangsanya, beberapa wanita menemukan cara untuk menggabungkan dukungan untuk kepentingan nasional dengan ukuran promosi diri. Dengan membantu upaya perang, perempuan menunjukkan bahwa keprihatinan mereka sama sekali tidak terbatas pada lingkup domestik. Di bawah kedok patriotisme yang sering kali asli dan mendalam, mereka mengukir sendiri tempat yang genting di lingkungan publik."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

In the wars against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France, as in so many later conflicts, British women seem to have been no more markedly pacifist than men. Instead, and exactly like so many of their male countrymen, some women found ways of combining support for the national interest with a measure of self-promotion. By assisting the war effort, women demonstrated that their concerns were by no means confined to the domestic sphere. Under cover of a patriotism that was often genuine and profound, they carved out for themselves a real if precarious place in the public sphere.
