"It Is Bad, but true, that among the
many women of the better class who
nowadays attempt to be self-support-ing
there are comparatively few. who
achieve any marked success," said a
man observer In the .New York Trib
une. "Putting aside art and literature
which cannot properly be classed with
woman's professions, inasmuch as suc
cess in either depends entirely on in
dividual talent quite apart from the
distinctions of sex, the best they can
do, as a rule, Is to make a meagre liv
ing, seldom, Indeed, acquiring a com
petence. Those who succeed In amass
ing enough to retire from active em
ployment are generally the energetic
women who have adopted educational
careers, and have achieved prominence
as the heads of large boarding school?.
This seems really to pay, but in trade
what are known aa society women
rarely succeed. At best it is a con
tinual struggle, and we have yet to
hear of the fortunate fair merchant,
dressmaker or milliner, who has re
tired with a fortune. Next to school
keeping, agricultural pursuits on an
adequate scale seem to offer the best
opportunity of acquiring a competence,
and there has been a number of in
stances. In California especially, where
women have succeeded with their
ranches, and there seems no reason
why even in the circumscribed east
they should not cater successfully for
the market.
"Why Is It, It Is asked, that there is
so little real financial prosperity
among women; why should the ac
quirement of a bare sustenance be con
sidered for 'them a success? That they
have brains in plenty every one ad
mits, and for a generation, at least,
every opportunity has been given them
to enter the arena of competition. Why
is .it, then, that there have been no
radical results. The fault, It must be
acknowledged, lies with the women
themselves. They work half heart
edly, because they must, and failures
discourage them. Then, too, they are
apt to try too many things. They do
not keep In a groove like a man, who
does not expect success early In life,
'and is content to work for years for
the future. Women have neither the
patience nor the daring to make suc
cessful merchants. They expect Im
mediate results, and are too economical
to scatter for future gathering.
"What they can do in the profes
sions is yet to be proved, certainly
so far no star has arisen. In short,
we hear a great deal of the new wo
man, of her ability, courage and dar
ing, but, after all is said and done,
we do not see that there is any great
difference between the new and the
old."
