QUOTATION:... a business career for a woman and her need for a woman’s life as wife and mother, are not enemies at all, unless we make them so, but may be the closest and most co-operative friends and supporter of each other.
ATTRIBUTION:Hortense Odlum (1892–?), U.S. businesswoman. A Woman’s Place, ch. 16 (1939).

Odlum was a wife, the mother of three sons, and president of Bonwit Teller, a New York City women’s store. Her husband was wealthy and supportive; they had a luxurious home and household help.
