You have to act as if it were possible
to radically transform the world.
And you have to do it all the time.

“An army of women is entering [all] branches of industry.”
From The Crisis of November 1918:
THE COLORED WOMAN IN INDUSTRY
Mary E. Jackson
JUST as colored men are going into the Army, so colored women are being recruited into industry. Thousands and thousands of eager boys have gone to France; we all know about them. Few of us realize that at the same time an army of women is entering mills, factories and all other branches of industry.
I undertook an industrial survey of these women for the National Board of the Young Women’s Christian Association. I investigated the increasing numbers employed, the kinds of work, wages, working conditions, what has been done, and what more can be done to raise the efficiency of the workers. At the same time I began in each city the organization of industrial women into clubs.
