ABSTRACT

A study of man reveals the fact that when God created men and women He made them the complements of each other, one supplying what the other lacked, mutually dependent, but both forming a perfect whole. That same study reveals the spiritual equality and the physical inequality of the sexes. It reveals that, while to man has been assigned the aggressive, progressive and governing power in the world, to woman has been assigned the conservative and refining power. Modern sociologist observes a growing laxity in morals and an increased freedom between the sexes—a laxity which society frowns upon and a freedom which oftimes creates an embarrassing condition for the woman. Modern economic conditions, with the mania for speedy profits, have been a powerful factor in producing the “New Woman,” inasmuch as they have dragged her into the commercial world and made her economically independent.
