What reading level is The Social Trend book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

WOMEN that the status of women in general is deter- mined the wife has lost her economic footing. Apart from motherhood, her r61e is chiefly orna- mental. The husband is the one who counts, whose strength must be conserved, who cannot afford to be sick. Of course, much emphasis is laid on the wife's maternal contribution. But, aside from the one wife in six who rears no child, will wives feel and be able to persuade men that the bearing and rearing of three or four children offsets forty or fif...ty years of maintenance? Grandmother bore on the average six or eight children besides performing a hundred tasks which never present themselves in the modern household.
It is a cherished bit of make-believe that the husband is compensated by his wife's graces, her accomplishments, her culture, her social and pub- lic activities ; that the "companionship" of so fine a creature is an equivalent for all she costs. But will nothing of patronage creep into the at- titude of the bread-winner toward his unproduc- tive mate?
