Economics Will Put Women to Work in 50 Years, Nov. 10, 1925

Says Women Will Have to Work, Too

Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 7—Within a half century every able-bodied woman will be at work, helping her husband to make a living for the family. Economic pressure on the men of the household will make it necessary for wives to enter employment, and it will make the combined efforts of all to make both ends meet. And electricity will be “house maid” of the future.

These are some of the observations of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, suffragist leader, who is in Milwaukee to address the convention of school teachers today.
