The Business of Being a WomanMacmillan, 1912 - 242 lappuses The author "was 'luke-warm in the matter of suffrage.' She preferred ... to stress the social and economic work that women had engaged in during the building of America. She argues in this book that 'women had a business assigned by nature and society which was more important than public life. Women with "bachelor's souls..." are not the women upon whom society depends. They are not the ones who build the nation.'"--Book dealer's description |
