ABSTRACT

The habits of application, of concentration and of regularity which professional training requires will never be out of place in any kind of life. And women will be the more capable of doing, not only their own particular kind of work, but all work, better for the experience they have passed through. But, then, it is often urged that women do not give up their professions when they marry, but, on the contrary, keep to them, and that thus the home life is injured. Nevertheless, the professional woman who thinks of marriage ought to face the fact that she will probably have to choose between the two lives and that if she chooses marriage it will mean giving up her profession. But the other objection, that women by entering professions will oust men, is one which has an even more far-reaching effect.
