To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thewomen bought the newspapers containing the new page, the advertiserbegan to feel the presence of the new reader, and every newspaper thatcould not get the rights for the "Bok Page, " as it came to be known, started a "Woman's Page" of it own. Naturally, the material so obtainedwas of an inferior character. No single newspaper could afford what thesyndicate, with the expense divided among a hundred newspapers, couldpay. Nor had the editors of these woman's pages either a standard or apolicy. ...In desperation they engaged any person they could to "get a lotof woman's stuff. " It was stuff, and of the trashiest kind. So thatalmost coincident with the birth of the idea began its abuse anddisintegration; the result we see in the meaningless presentations whichpass for "woman's pages" in the newspaper of to-day. This is true even of the woman's material in the leading newspapers, andthe reason is not difficult to find. The average editor has, as a rule, no time to study the changing conditions of women's interests; his timeis and must be engrossed by the news and editorial pages.
