"I'll just say that although Dena's temper is a little weird, and it may be problematic to deal with ordinary people, it is more suitable for dealing with scientists and technicians. So the worries you had about Dena's character before were completely unnecessary. Scrooge gently shook the telegram in his hand and said to Carol and Catherine.

"What does that say?" Although Catherine is very tired of Scrooge's frequent interference in her children's education, and many times even openly disagrees with her, and is also troubled by her daughter's eccentric personality, Catherine, as a mother, is still anxious to know any information about her daughter when she is thousands of miles away from home.

"Dena persuaded Ms. Sophia to agree to come to the University of Cleveland for a while as a visiting scholar." Scrooge replied.

"Then you must have given Dena a high salary authority." Catherine said with a furrowed brow, reaching out to take the message from Scrooge's hand and read it. But the message that Dena sent back was very simple, and it didn't contain much other than that Ms. Sophia had agreed to visit the University of Cleveland for a while. This disappointed Catherine, who was anxious to know what Dena's current life was like.

"It's impossible for Dena to send us a long message back in her current identity. It's easy to wonder who she is. "Still, she'll definitely write back." It's just that it takes a long time for letters or something to come back. ”

"I don't have the privilege of offering Dena a high salary, and for those who do scientific research, a high salary is not necessarily particularly convincing." "Mr. Maxwell, for example, was definitely not something that could be poached by high wages. ”

"It was dug up by the real yàn room, and the real yàn room itself is also money!" Catherine retorted.

"That means Dena has passed me. You know, a mathematician doesn't need a real room. "I'm interested in how Dena persuaded Ms. Sophia." ”

"It's nothing more than a quirky man meets an eccentric." Catherine was still unhappy. Seriously, she felt that Scrooge's hand was stretched too long, and it was only a matter for him to interfere with Donald's education, because Donald was ...... after all But he actually had to interfere with his niece's education, and then educated a beautiful girl into a female man. Even he felt that he had made a great contribution and showed off like this. That's really ......

……

The reason why Dena convinces Sophia is actually simple. At that time, Dena suggested to Sophia that she could visit the United States as a visiting scholar. She sued Sophia:

"The United States is not much worse than Europe. Of course, I can't say that the United States is more open than Europe when it comes to women, in fact, in general, the United States is a bit more conservative than countries like France. The exception is the University of Cleveland, which may be more tolerant than Europe. ”

"Ah, when I saw you, I believed it." Sophia said with a smile, "My parents would never have allowed me to cross the ocean to study in a strange country alone. I went to Petersburg to study with the help of my husband. To be honest, I wouldn't have taken this path if I hadn't met him, my mother has always been against me studying math. ”

"My mom is the same." "She always told me, 'Girls shouldn't learn this, it's a man's business, girls should ......,' and my dad didn't support me on that issue anyway. Fortunately, my uncle has always supported me. He told me that there is no such thing as a man and a woman. There is no such thing as a masculine nature or a feminine nature. A little boy, if you give him a doll to play with every day, let him wear a skirt with lace trim, and if he pretends to be cute, you will be rewarded, then you will definitely be able to raise him to be the husband of Isabella II. On the contrary, if you give her a toy gun every day, take her to hunt, tell her Caesar, Genghis Khan, Napoleon and other war stories every day, and when she encounters difficulties, always encourage her to work hard to overcome them, always praise her with 'you are so brave' instead of 'you are so cute', criticize her with things like 'you are so weak, aren't you ashamed', you can easily raise her to be a woman like George Sand. In my family, my uncle was stronger. That's why I can read like a boy. ”

"Your uncle's statement is very interesting. What does he do? To Sophia, who has always cared about women's rights, this view that the distinction between men and women is an acquired thing is really interesting.

"Ahh Dena was taken aback, Scrooge's identity could not be said, otherwise it would bring a lot of trouble to herself, but Dena was not willing to talk nonsense to Lady Sophia, whom she admired very much, so Dena replied:

"My uncle worked for the McDonald Infantry Weapons Company and was an engineer."

This answer is in no way deceptive. Scrooge did have a job at MacDonald's Infantry Weapons Company, and he was indeed an engineer. In many cases, you don't need to tell a lie at all, as long as you don't tell the whole truth, and even if you tell the whole truth, in some cases, as long as you deal with the light accent when you say it, you can deceive many people.

"Your uncle's point of view is very interesting, you must not have taught it like that, right? You have a good family, and you have an uncle to support you. Listening to the tone of the voice, Sophia seemed to be very envious.

It is true that Dena was taught by Scrooge in a great way. In order to avoid disturbing some people's boring female thoughts, she lowered her requirements for herself, so she instilled a lot of "feminist" ideas into it. Of course, what Scrooge instilled in Dena was definitely an authentic "feminist" idea, not the so-called "feminism" of the 21st century rabbit country. Speaking of which, the feminist ideas that Scrooge instilled in Dena may be closer to those of the former Soviet Union. Its core content is: what men can do, women can do; What a man can't do, a woman can do! Because, in MacDonald's house, women must also be used as men.

"I was taught the same thing by a teacher I met at university." "For thousands of years, he said, women were dependent on men and had no personality or value of their own. Their value is attached to other people, which makes them an 'object'. ”

"'Object'? That's a really interesting statement. Sophia said, "Miss Dena, can you tell me more about this theory?" ”

This theory actually comes from the later Simon Beauvoir's "The Second Sex", which is called the bible of the feminist movement. Scrooge also directly used the theory in it to educate Dena. Beauvoir believed that women habitually put themselves in the perspective of being appreciated, basing their life value on being appreciated. This makes the woman an appendage of the appreciative of the male - a "second sex" attached to the subordinate nature of the "first sex" male. And Dena will be cultivated as one of the important heirs of the family in the future. She must not have any "feminine characteristics" that are attached to others and base her value on the appreciation of others. Anyway, the MacDonald family didn't plan to use Dena to marry or anything, they didn't need a "princess", they only needed a "queen".

In this way, relying on this theory from later generations, Dena suddenly attracted Ms. Sophia. Dena gave a general overview of the basic point of "that teacher", but of course it will not be too detailed. Sophia, who is still unsatisfied, still has a lot of questions that she hasn't figured out. But it seems that Dena can't go any further. After all, Dena is still a half-grown child.

So in the end, Sophia had to ask, "Dena, can you tell me the name of that teacher of yours?" ”

"Ahh Dena smiled slyly, "I'm sure you've heard of this teacher's name. He is the Principal Emeritus of our school, Mr. Scrooge MacDonald. I had seen him since I was very young. My uncle's idea also came from him. Moreover, I have come to visit you partly because of Mr. MacDonald's intentions. ”

Scrooge MacDonald's fame, of course, Sophia had heard of it. As the most famous scientist and businessman in the world, not many people have not heard of his name. In fact, some socialists often use him as an example in their political and economic works. Overall, Scrooge is definitely a legend of his time.

"Dena, are you familiar with Mr. MacDonald?" Sophia asked, "What kind of person do you think he is?" ”

"My dad knows him well. As for what kind of man Mr. MacDonald is, I can't tell. But one thing is for sure, he's a very smart, or rather cunning. If you're interested, head to the University of Cleveland and see for yourself. What's more, Cleveland's climate is much better than Stockholm, which is more beneficial to your body. Moreover, Cleveland Salvation Hospital, affiliated with the University of Cleveland, is also the best hospital in the world......"

……

In and Sophia?? After Ms. Kovalevskaya's farewell, Dena left France for Göttingen. The University of Göttingen is Sophia?? Kovalevskaya's alma mater, where she received her doctorate and knew quite a few professors, Sophia wrote some letters of introduction to Dena and asked her to take them there.

I went out for a meeting in the past two days, and from today onwards, I will return to normal
