“All the blanket objections to women in professions may be understood as ways of stating [women are going to college ‘for show’ or to attract a husband]. They appear to be judments of prejudice, and, in so far as they adduce no other cause than sex, we must admit that they are. However, unless feminists admit that the phenomena described by critics of women’s performance in industry, offices, schoolrooms, trade unions and in the arts and sciences are real, they must fail to identify the problem, and therefore to solve it. It is true that opportunities have been made available to women far beyond their desires to use them” (76).
