Summary

Woman of the Century — Mary Hayes Houghton (1893)

Impelled by anxiety for an over-tasked and frail husband, the wife became familiar with his many lines of business, private, professional and official, and with many years of efficient service proves that "woman's work" may cover a wide range without impairing her womanliness, her taste for domestic life or her skill in feminine accomplishments. With organizations religious, reformatory and literary, she is actively identified, and she cooperates with all that will elevate humanity.

Woman of the Century — Mary Hayes Houghton (1893)

She is president of a woman's club which fur years has done excellent work, and is also a member of the Ohio Woman's Press Club. An enthusiastic student of sociology, she aids the aspiring and arouses all who know her to higher ambitions and more exalted views of the real purposes of life. Her home is in Wellington, Ohio, and her energies and sympathies are now chiefly occupied in repeating earlier experience, comforting bereaved old age and caring for motherless childhood, in which labor of love her nature finds large compensations.
