Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Heroines of Modern Progress The intellect and power of man have been given to the conquest of the earth - the natural forces - first for his own use, as in the individualistic age; then for his tribe or clan; and, in a more advanced civilization, for his country. Woman, on the contrary, has centered her activities on developing the agencies which conserve life. First as the mother in the tent of the nomad she dressed the skins that her man and their children might be clothed; she cultivated the corn around the tent that the family might have a permanent supply of food; she preserved the meat against the winter. In the tribal life women carried on the trades which underlie the home, working in groups. Now, in modern city life women are endeavoring to adapt themselves to the specialization necessary under present conditions for both man and woman. In primitive civilizations the woman alone applied the industrial arts to the articles in daily use. The man did not concern himself with the form or the ornamentation of his garments; the woman not only manufactured the garments worn by the family but ornamented them as well. These conditions still exist among all primitive races, the women doing the work, and bearing and nursing the children.
