The Business of Being a Woman

CHAPTER II
12/27

"If I had taken my wife's advice!" How often one hears it! One most important fact has come out of our great coeducational experiment: The college cannot entirely rub feminity out and masculinity into a woman's brain.

The woman's mind is still the woman's mind, although she is usually the last to recognize it.

It is another proof of the eternal fact that Nature looks after her own good works! But it takes more than a college course to make an efficient, flexible, and trustworthy organ from a mind, masculine or feminine.
It must be applied to productive labor in competition with other trained minds, before you can decide what it is worth.
