Feminist Movement Strikes Guilford College: Girls Playing Baseball! Nov. 20, 1918

Feminist Movement Blamed When Girls at Guilford College Play Baseball, Nov. 20, 1918

From The Guilfordian, the Guilford College student newspaper, Nov. 20, 1918

The feminist movement has surely struck Guilford hard. This is the day when women are doing men’s work but who would have supposed that the girls would have taken over the three activities formerly considered purely masculine prerogative. Within the short space of Friday and Saturday of last week we witnessed a feminine minstrel show at Memorial, a girl’s baseball game on Hobbs field and a girls’ serenade in the darkness before Cox Hall. Verily the world moves. Who would have it otherwise. Some day the older girls may receive as much freedom as mature young ladies of this day and the generation are entitled to.
