Chicago teaching secretary Catherine Goggin argues 6 percent of school maids are unmarried and 60 percent of teachers married fail to enjoy lasting happiness.

She blames male fear of bossy women and teachers’ gullibility from contact with children, urging that brains and independence trump home life.
