We have more intelligent homes because of equal suffrage. Where

editor of _The American Kitchen Magazine_, spoke on New Professions
for Women Centering in the Home:

The main objection made by conservative people to definite
occupations or professions for women has been that such callings
would inevitably tend to destroy the home. Once let women prove
that they can follow a trade or profession and yet make a home
