Document 2…And what were these “own lives” of theirs [women] to be like? Well, for one thing, they could
take jobs. Up to this time girls of the middle classes who had wanted to “do something” had been
largely restricted to school-teaching, social-service work, nursing, stenography, and clerical work
in business houses. But now they poured out of the schools and colleges into all manner of new

been contented to stay in Sauk Center [Minnesota] all their days were now borrowing from
father to go to New York or Chicago to seek their fortunes — in Best’s or Macy’s or Marshall
Field’s. Married women who were encumbered [burdened] with children and could not seek
jobs consoled themselves with the thought that home-making and child-rearing were really
“professions,” after all. No topic was so furiously discussed at luncheon tables from one end of
the country to the other as the question whether the married woman should take a job, and
