Excerpt from On to Victory: A Comedy in Two Acts Aunt C. (sitting down in quaint old rocker and sighing gently). I Suppose I am behind the times, dearie, but in my time girls were more modest. They looked forward to matri mony and a home, and not for professions and trying to com pete with men in everything. Women are so uneasy today. They aren't content to stay at home as they used to. Barb. (excitedly). But what is there for them to do in the home? I mean for the thousands of girls like me, who don't really have to earn their living? Just dust in the morning and cut flowers for vases and do little, trivial things and sit down and wait for a husband! Oh, how stupid it all is! It was different when you were a girl - even in your circumstances, there was always something to do. But the factories have taken everything out of our hands, and we have too much self respect to be parasites. It isn't just to compete with men that our factories and Shops are filled with women and girls. It's to earn their living and not for fun that they are there.
