[What eight million women want by Rheta Childe Dorr]@TWC D-Link bookWhat eight million women want CHAPTER IV 37/48
In Wyoming, where women vote, but where they are in such minority that their votes count for little, a married woman must satisfy the court that she is under the necessity of earning her living. If you are a woman, married or unmarried, and wish to practice law, you are barred from seven of the United States.
The legal profession is closed to women in Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, Arkansas, Delaware, Tennessee, and South Carolina. In some States they discourage women from aspiring to the learned professions by refusing them the advantages of higher education which they provide for their brothers. Four state universities close their doors to women, in spite of the fact that women's taxes help support the universities.
These States are Georgia, Virginia, Louisiana, and North Carolina.
The last-named admits women to post-graduate courses. You can hold no kind of an elective office, you cannot be even a county superintendent of schools in Alabama or Arkansas, if you are a woman.
In Alabama, indeed, you may not be a minister of the gospel, a doctor of medicine, or a notary public.
