Theodore Roosevelt discusses the relationship between man and woman on a personal or romantic level and of men and women within professional settings. In both cases he advocates for mutual respect and consideration. Women, including married women, should have the right to choose their profession. The bearing and rearing of children may interrupt their professional service, but it need not end it. The article was published in the Ladies Home Journal in November 1916.
