ABSTRACT
Since we wish to advocate the more extensive employment of women it is important to analyse the resistance to this which undoubtedly exists among employers, fellow-workers, and the public generally. Objections are raised on a number of different grounds. Some of them are based on social prejudices or personal bias, others on verifiable facts and circumstances. Although it is difficult to argue rationally against emotional attitudes we must seriously consider the case against the greater employment of women—which chiefly means the employment of married women—advanced by disinterested bodies of opinion, such as psychologists, educationalists, social scientists, and so forth, and to study the evidence given by employers of female labour.
