August 15, 1914 – Dr. Hans Friendenthal, a famous professor of the University of Berlin, Germany, described the new woman as he thinks she will be evolved by suffragism and the higher education thus: “Brain work will cause her to become bald, while increasing masculinity and contempt for beauty of olden time will induce the growth of hair on the face.” According to the professor, in the near future, women will be bald and will wear patriarchal beards and mustaches.
