It's Up to the Women
by
[Stokes, $1.25]
HERE is a book, small in size but large in compass, to challenge every woman. Women of every class from that of the leisure groups to the mill worker, and of every age from the young married woman to the grandmother, will feel that the writer, either through actual experience or a warm sympathetic spirit, knows their own particular problem. Their problems are recognized with kindly understanding — but then comes the challenge. Conditions throughout the world to-day are as they are; repining will not change them, grieving will not simplify them.
So what to do?
Mrs. Roosevelt feels that there is much to do, and sets up her ideals for women in clear-cut, practical terms. No idle theorizing here. The wisdom of having each member in a family of limited means make his or her own bed, thus lessening the burden of the homemaker, comes in for its own particular place in a well-ordered scheme of life, just as well as woman’s part in public life. It’s Up to the Women might well be termed a plea for the return of the Old-Fashioned Virtues, but the O.T.F.V. revalued with fresh insight and laudable determination.
