WOMEN AND THE CROSSROADS By RUTH STAGER In ancient Athens the women stayed at home, attending to the affairs of the house. They never acted as hostesses when their husbands had parties, and were only seen in public at the theater and at certain religious festivals. Sharply contrasted to this custom was that of the Aztec and Babylonian women. These Mexican women shared in most of the occupations of the men. Some learned to read and write, others learned the principles of astronomy and astrology. The Babylonian women often engaged in business for them- selves. ' In out-of-the-Way places on the globe geographers have found strange peoples among whom the rights of the mother are stronger that the rights of the father, and where women perform many duties which elsewhere belong to men. In most highly civilized countries the women come to outnumber the men. This is due primarily to the fact that men are more exposed to death from industrial accidents or war. In the world as a whole there are slightly more men than women, although with the white race alone the proportion is reversed. The progress of women in civilized countries has been slow. becoming more marked as men and women learned that one could not advance far without the other. Men and women alike must be Htted to bear a share in the nation's support and betterment. Old-fashioned propriety usually has shaken its head in shocked protest when women demanded new privileges. The controlling conception of the proper status of women prior to the nineteenth century was ex- pressed by Pericles in his eloquent funeral oration. He said, And if I am to speak of womanly virtues let me sum them up in one short sentence: To a woman not to show more weakness than is natural to her sex is a great glory, and not to be talked about for good or evil among men. The organized women's rights movements began in the United States in 1848, as a direct out- growth of the anti-slavery struggle. The story of won1en's gains was long and trying. but finallv in August of 1920 ratifications were obtained from the necessary three-fourths of the states, and suffrage was extended to all women over twenty-one years of age. Women have slowly gained power, until in 1040 they are represented in nearly all fields of work. ln 1924 Wyoming and Texas elected women for state governors. Nobody knows what the future holds in store for women. The fairer sex is advancing szpeeflilv in the fields of medicine and law, formerly considered a man's job. Long after schools generally felt the influence of co-education, law schools and medical schools failed to provide for the needs of women. In 1930 there were approximately nineteen times as many men practicing medicine as there were women. Florence Ellinwood Allen, a prominent woman lawyer, says that there is a great field for women in law and that modern women are deeply affecting the ad- ministration of justice. There are perhaps 'many women who genuinely love and are interested in people and their needs. Nursing as a career offers an opportunity to help mankind in deepest need and prepares young women to more adequately make good homes. Florence Nightingale put it, 'KNursing is an art that concerns every family in the world. Those of you who Find shorthand a fascinating art, should consider the profession of shorthand- reporting. It may surprise you to know that shorthand-reporting is one of the most exclusive and re- munerative professions, and the average earnings are greater than those of the doctor and lawyer. Adelaide S. Baylor says, 'iliverv girl is a potential homemaker and for eighty to ninety per cent of them potentiality ceases and reality begins. It is. therefore, proper to assume that the major respon- sibility in the lives of practically all Women in America is that of hornemakingf' l have only mentioned a very few of the professions which ofler an outlook for modern women. Somewhere in the world there is a niche with our initials carved on it. Let us start out tomorrow to find it. There can be no greater reward than that which comes from the knowledge that we have done our best: everything possible to advance our CCPIIZYIT-C and social haopiness. A clue to our path comes from a quotation from Achmed Abdullah. I have made the discovery that, when all is said and done, the old-fashioned much ridiculed decencies of life are the main basis for success and happiness-and by the 'decencies', I mean chiefly three: honesty, physical cleanliness, and loyalty.
