The Psychology of Beauty

First published in 1905. According to Wikipedia: "Ethel Dench Puffer Howes (1872–1950) was an American psychologist and feminist organizer… As one of the first women to embark on a career in psychology, Ethel Dench Puffer Howes faced obstacles at every turn, from institutionalized sexism at the universities and colleges where she studied and taught, to the challenge of maintaining a family life and career (all too familiar to women even a century later). She and her female peers nevertheless laid the groundwork for women in psychology today. Though choosing to marry effectively ended her career in academia, she adjusted her expectations and efforts to push the boundaries of socially-imposed limitations for women, spending the rest of her life organizing and lobbying for women’s interests.”
