Another ad in ‘Seventeen’ magazine for hope chests has the pitch, “Some special occasion is surely coming up soon - your birthday, graduation, engagement perhaps…” (121) Despite the opinion of the majority being against women working, there were still those who fought for women’s rights, especially in the workforce.
