Negro Women Today and Their Education

Abstract

It is true that volumes have been written about women. In the Teachers College Library, Columbia, the card catalogue has one and one-half drawers full of cards measuring 23 inches in thickness that deal with every subject that could possibly relate to womanhood: their nature, their motivation, their jobs and the like. On the other hand cards concerning books about men measure three-fourths of one inch and have such vague and general titles as Of Mice and Men and Man the Unknown. Likewise, there have been many volumes written about Negroes. The titles deal with very much the same subject-matter as that pertaining to women. They measure about 16 inches in thickness in the card catalogue. Interestingly, only a few cards refer to the subj ect of white people and they mostly deal with a topic concerning relationships with Negroes.
