Women’s Domestic Service in Germany

Frau Pauline Woerner, an advocate of women's rights in Germany, recommends that women do compulsory domestic service for the State as a means of ending the suffrage agitation. She remarks: "I was educated in Germany, and I know that no woman could be more domestic than Germans. Why, even the wives and daughters of the professional men, prosperous lawyers and doctors, do their own cooking and housework. But aside from that, legislation can never make cooks."
