Free woman
A Free Woman is a woman who is not Kajira, i.e. not enslaved. In many cities, free women can only move in veiled form and need personal protection on larger journeys. Often they are only allowed to talk to relatives and Free Companions.[1] Many Free Women of the High Caste are raised isolated from the public in so-called High Gardens.[2]
Quotes
Quote: «The power of free women, of course, rests ultimately on the might of men. Were it not for men, free women would be as powerless as slave girls.»[3][4]
Quote: «She saw, occasionally, among the crowds, a free woman, robed and veiled. How proudly, how serenely, they moved. How she envied them their freedom! They were free! They could come and go as they pleased. [...] Lastly it might be mentioned that it is traumatic for a Gorean woman, when captured, to be unveiled. "Remove her veil" is a command she dreads to hear, one which strikes with fear and misery to the heart of her being. The vulgar expression for this is "face-stripping."»[5][6]
Quote: «The privilege of using his name, of having it on her lips, according to the most approved custom, reserved for that of a free woman, in particular a Free Companion.»[7][8]
Quote: «Goreans, in their simplistic fashion, often contend, categorically, that man isnaturally free and woman is naturally slave. But even for them the issues arefar more complex than these simple formulations would suggest. For example,there is no higher person, nor one more respected, than the Gorean freewoman. ... Goreans do believe, however, that every woman has a natural master or set of masters, with respect to whom she could not help but be acomplete and passionate slave girl. These men occur in her dreams and fantasies. She lives in terror that she might meet one in real life.»[9][10]
Quote: «Perhaps a free woman flings herself to her knees, before the reddened sword of a helmeted enemy, ready to strike, drunk with the lust of killing and looting. The blade is poised. She throws back her hood and tears away her veils, and her mouth is exposed to the conqueror. "La kajira!" she cries. "I am a slave girl!" This formula, once spoken, is irrevocable. She is then a self-pronounced slave. A quick, abrupt gesture of the sword and she must disrobe, immediately, completely. Her hands are then tied behind her, and she must hurry behind her captor, struggling to keep up, later to be penned with other slaves amongst whom, as she lacks the brand and collar, she is unlikely to be well treated.»[11][6]
