“For boys, the family was the place from which one sprang and to which one returned for comfort and support, but the field of action was the larger world of wilderness, adventure, industry, labor, and politics. For girls, the family was to be the world, their field of action the domestic circle. He was to express himself in his work and, through it and social action, was to help transform his environment; her individual growth and choices were restricted to lead her to express herself through love, wifehood, and motherhood--through the support and nurture of others, who would act for her.” WorldHelpingActionChoicesGirlIndividualSocialGrowthBoysSupportEnvironmentFieldsAdventureIndustryComfortLaborMotherhoodCirclesWildernessNurtureSocial Action Author:Gerda Lerner
