The nearer society approaches to divine order, the less separation will there be in the characters, duties, and pursuits of men an...d women. Women will not become less gentle and graceful, but men will become more so.

What the world needs today is not more competition but woman's native genius for sympathetic co-operation. Competition is so acute... because society has crumbled and left the individual atomized and unprotected. Unless we women succeed in modifying this competitive spirit through more effective co-operation between public and private endeavor, between management and labor, between the contending religious groups, between the family and the community, between one individual and another, then there is little hope for our democratic civilization. This is women's great opportunity--to ease the acute and dangerous tensions of American life.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
