No wonder women have had such a struggle: 1915 Post Editorial: There is still a rather prevalent notion that half of the worlds brain power is quite sufficient to manage all of its important affairs satisfactorily, and that the other half should be excluded. That the young daughter of the family should be seriously trained to earn a living is SHOCKING to Pap and Mamma. It conflicts with their conventional idea of her as a social ornament. The may student the same books as her brother does and pass the same examinations, but what is finally required of her is something utterly different from what is required of her brother; and because of that her total education is entirely different from his. She expects to win the race that is set before her by charm, not by intellect. Practically she meets more incentives to do her hair prettily than to develop her mind.
