We Women
The DdeadfuI Thirties

rs thirty the dead-line for women in
business?
A business woman writes as fol-
lows:
II am a well educated, thoroughly
efficient business woman of about forty
five years of age but in appearance and
mental attitude many years younger.
Ny friends assure me that l not only
have a pleasing personality, but am
actually good-looking. have a splen-
did continuous record Of efficient Of
flee service and the best of references,
while it is through. no fault of my own
1 am compelled to seek a position. Yet
find myself over and over again suf-
fering the humiliating experience of not
being allowed even to interview a pros
pective employer because / admit to
being more than thirty years old
Any woman who has passed through
the mad. sensitive, impulsive teens and
come to her careless, restless, hungering
twenties unscathed to the dreadful
thirties should have something to show
for it. Something that any employer
should be grateful to receive.
Unless she has lived in nunnery
any woman must have garnered expe-
rience at that age. She must have
some working philosophy to steady her.
She must have some aim in life to keep
her interested. She must have ideas
and tastes. She must. be emotionally
deepened.
Is there anything to be said for the
employer who AYERS that a woman past
thirty is rigid, insulated, set in her
way, less adaptable than her questing
younger sister?
1t seems to me that successful young
business women cultivate just that
adaptability to their employers man
ner of doing things that has made
them successful. They can't afford to
be set in their ways. They have the
courage to look at themselves with an
unbiased eye, just as they have knowl-
edge to see where they have made a
mistake. They have a steadiness and
an interest in their work that makes
them invaluable.
Is thirty the deadline for women in
business?
No mere man can make me be-
lieve it.
