In 1935, Dr. Alan Chester Valentine of Yale Unviersity said the following during his speech to the graduating class at Radcliffe college: “Education….for women should not be to instruct them in doing men’s work, but to fit them for creating a new and better world than the world of men.” He complained that, “In their struggle to escape the domination of men, women have neglected their spiritual powers to become Amazons by using men’s weapons,” and asked, “How many self-made men ever realize that they are not self-made at all, but simply the clay that some woman took and shaped?”
