Women should work after marriage says Dorothy Dix
Dorothy Dix advises that a wife may work after marriage and argues against the view that a husband must keep her in idleness to be kind. She cites men who resist but benefit from their wives’ earnings, urges shared finances, and notes rising economic necessity. A widow asks about independence and a reader shares a system of equal three-way split with savings and responsibility.
