I'm deep in the historical databases, looking for material about W.I. and Dorothy Swaine Thomas. One of W.I.'s early arguments concerned the social and biological bases for the inferiority of women. As I understand the story, he changed his tune in the early 1920s. [Though I could be wrong, I haven't done a lot of biographical research yet]. In anycase, I came across the attached headline while working through Proquest's historical New York Times file. I like reviewing these bold proclaimations which turn out to be far from accurate. It humbles me and reminds me that regardless of how sure I may be about something, I too could be very wrong.
