Abstract

The Virginia Man and the New Era for Women
Hatcher, Orie Latham | June 1, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

It need not be surprising that in a community so tenacious of social ideals as Virginia still remains, the public mind-or, to be more exact, the masculine mind--is concerned chiefly with the effect of the era upon the women themselves, not with their competence for the new tasks. Whether it is the Southern man's instinctive deference to the other sex, or some other cause, which deters him, even the most conservative rarely raises a doubt as to women's ability to do the new things opening to them: it is the desirability of their doing them which gives him pause.
