If the girl chooses to continue working — then usually she gives employment to someone — maids, gardeners, cooks, some sort of household workers — to take care of her" home for her.
"If a millionaire has a son," she pointed out, "no one objects when the son seeks employment, even though his father can support him. Why should a millionaire's daughter, or a woman in ordinary circumstances, be denied the same right to earn money?"
