Should matrimony end a woman's career says diverse views

The Inquiring Reporter surveys opinions on whether marriage ends a woman's employment. J P Klein argues home life is the natural sphere and a woman's public duties should not conflict with home duties, though suffrage is vital on moral issues. He says a successful career alongside marriage is rare and often impossible. Mrs Murray I Nesbit counters firmly that matrimony inspires higher career ideals and motherhood enhances a woman's professional climb, citing examples like Carrie Nation and Ethel Barrymore.
