All around Anne convention prevailed. The “new woman” of the 1920s was not like her mother’s generation, restless with rebellion and social defiance. In the wake of suffrage was a sudden realization that the reins of power had not changed. Women did not vote in large numbers nor did they form the political blocs anticipated by those who had fought for suffrage. While women enrolled in universities and joined the workplace in unprecedented numbers after the war, the demographics of marriage had changed. By the end of the 1920s, the marriage rate among educated women had doubled, and the task of balancing marriage and career became an identifiable social problem. (See Nancy Woloch,
Women and the American Experience
, New York: McGraw-Hill, 1996, pp. 241–279.) In 1925, when Anne was a freshman at Smith, the college opened the Institute for the Coordination of Women’s Interests, resolving to ameliorate the “intolerable choice between career and home,” but the institute folded. The experts concluded that women had no choice, given the prevailing social prejudice. (See Dolores Hayden,
The Grand Domestic Revolution: A History of Feminist Designs for American Homes, Neighborhoods, and Cities
, Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, pp. 266–277, and C. Todd Stephenson, “Integrating the Carol Kennicotts,” in
Journal of Women’s History
, 1992, vol. 4, no. 1 [Spring], pp. 89–113.) Even though Anne’s contemporaries at Smith were preparing for a life of professional and financial independence, most would sacrifice their careers for the security of home and family within three years after graduation.
