[The Business of Being a Woman by Ida M. Tarbell]@TWC D-Link bookThe Business of Being a Woman CHAPTER II 13/27
Set the man-trained woman's mind at what is called man's business, let it be what you will--keeping a shop, practicing medicine or law, editing, running a factory--let her do it in what she considers to be a man's way, and with fidelity to her original theory that his way is more desirable than hers; that is, let her succeed in the task of making a man of herself--what about her ?--what kind of a man does she become? Here again there is ample experience to go on.
For seventy years we have had them with us--the stern disciples of the militant program. Greater fidelity to a task than they show it would be impossible to find--a fidelity so unwavering that it is often painful.
Their care for detail, for order, for exactness, is endless.
Dignity, respect for their undertaking, devotion to professional etiquette they may be counted on to show in the highest degree.
These are admirable qualities.
