"There were no upper schools or colleges open to them in Russia, and they went in enormous numbers to Switzerland, especially to Zurich. Girls of the upper classes shared their means with the poorer ones, and the latter eked out their resources by work of all descriptions. Zurich, as you know, is a hotbed of radicalism, and those young women who went to learn soon imbibed the wildest ideas." (George Alfred Henty. Condemned as a Nihilist: A Story of Escape from Sibiria. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1892. 62-63.)
