Note 832 — Chapter XVIII · PROBLEMS OF MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY (continued 2)

Cf. Stetson, op. cit., 156 ff. "The woman's club movement is one of the most important sociological phenomena of the century—indeed, of all centuries—marking as it does the first timid steps toward social organization of these so long unsocialized members of our race;" for "social life is absolutely conditioned upon organization."—Ibid., 164. On woman's clubs see Croly, Hist. of the Woman's Club Movement in America; Henrotin, Attitude of Women's Clubs Toward Social Economics; Livermore, North Am. Rev., CL, 115; Anstruther, Nineteenth Century, XLV, 598-611; and a symposium in Arena, VI, 362-88. The financial dependence of the wife is discussed by Cooke, "Real Rights of Women," North Am. Rev., CXLIX, 353, 354; and by Ives, "Domestic Purse Strings," Forum, X, 106-14, showing the hardships and temptations of wives dependent upon the husband for current supplies of money.
