Excerpt from Helps for Ambitious Girls Women's clubs pay no wages - the Ambitious Girl should remember that. Organization is a'dmirable, but it has no pay-roll; it is a side issue. The whole Federa tion of Women's Clubs is of less importance to a girl than her Own affairs. A club is easily joined, but em ployment must be prepared for and sought for. The new woman exists only in the comic newspapers; we must learn to paint the lily and gild refined gold before we can improve upon the kind of woman our mothers were. The ambitious boy and the ambitious girl go into the world Side by Side, and in many cases they will go hand in hand. When they join hands their first effort will be to establish a home, and that is girl's work. A girl with a dollar can make a more homelike home than a man with a million. Work brings money, but only the home brings happiness. And the whole field of endeavor is Open to the Ambitious Girl. It is not all her boys, but all her children, - boys and girls alike, - that Nature fits with something to do.

In this groundbreaking book about how women perceive, are prepared for, and cope with ambition and achievement, psychiatrist Anna Fels examines ambition at the deepest psychological level. Cutting to the core of what ambition can provide—the essential elements of a fulfilling life—Fels describes why, for women but not for men, ambition still remains fraught with often painful conflict. Fels draws on case studies, research, interviews, and autobiographies of accomplished and celebrated women past and present—writers, artists, architects, politicians, actors—to explore the ways in which women are brought up to avoid recognition and visibility in favor of traditional feminine values and why they often choose to nurture and defer to rather than compete with men. She poses invaluable questions: What is the nature of ambition and how important is it in a woman’s life? What are the forces that promote or impede its development? To what extent does ambition go against a woman’s very nature? And she challenges currently held theories about the state of mind and the needs of men. Incisive and highly readable, Necessary Dreams is a unique exploration of the options and obstacles women face in the pursuit of their goals. It is a book that every woman will want—and need—to read.
