    Women reading, Nora Springs, Iowa, 1913. Photographic postcard. “There are women in middle life, whose days are crowded with practical duties, physical strain, and moral responsibility … they fail to see that some use of the mind, in solid reading or in study, would refresh them by its contrast with carking cares, and would prepare interest and pleasure for their later years.” — Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842-1911), U.S. chemist and educator.
