THIS DAY IN DAILY HISTORY

Dean: Average woman needs to redefine role

Nov. 5, 1959 — In a panel discussion, Dean Deborah Bacon
said the average woman must find a new role in society, because at
32 years of age her children have already started school.

“How can the woman catch up on the vocational or
professional techniques which may have evolved during the 12 years
of her life centered in the home?” Bacon asked the
panelists.
