Business Methods And Secretarial Work For Girls And Women Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The American Business Woman: A Guide for the Investment, Preservation, and Accumulation of Property; Containing Full Explanations and Illustrations of All Necessary Methods of Business N my experience as a practising lawyer, no one fact has been more strongly impressed upon me than that the majority of American women are almost entirely ignorant of the ordinary rules and methods of business. In my practice many of my clients have been women, and, of these, I can recall but one whose acquaintance with regular business methods would, among men, be considered even ordinary she (now a grandmother) was brought up almost from child hood to a business which she, until quite recently, success fully pursued. This lack of knowledge among women is not at all due to any natural deficiency (on the contrary, my experience leads me to believe that women are quick to learn business methods when properly instructed), but it is rather the inevitable result of existing circumstances and conditions. We cannot reasonably look for a contrary state of affairs when we re ect that for ages women have been trained and educated in almost everything except the principles of busi ness, and have been instructed, if not compelled, to leave all matters of business to their fathers, husbands, or brothers.
