[The Family and it’s Members by Anna Garlin Spencer]@TWC D-Link bookThe Family and it’s Members CHAPTER XIII 29/39
Women, now that they have attained the democratic position in the state which they have long worked for must apply the principles they have preached in that crusade for political equality in the very stronghold of social caste and rigid class-feeling, the family life itself.
And even if they have to educate their husbands in the process. Woman may do this, first, by wiping out and forever the stigma that attaches or has attached to any woman who earns money outside her own home.
They may do it, second, by so relating themselves to professional, clerical, manual workers among their own sex as to show that they really believe in equality of rights and mutuality of duties among all classes.
They may do it, third, by taking hold of the household service problem radically and from the basis of actual knowledge of its importance to personal and family well-being.
They may show actual regard for the dignity of the functions implied, by the treatment accorded the competent, faithful, and often indispensable domestic helper.
