Meet the forgotten female scientist who debunked theories of male superiority:
Hollingworth believed the powers of social suggestion and public opinion were just two of the many ways that men tried to exert “social control” over women.
In 1911, the U.S. government was suing the Coca-Cola Company for selling an “adulterated beverage” with added caffeine. Harry Hollingworth, which his mentors had rejected, to research the effects of caffeine on mental function. Industry work was stigmatized as corrupting the scientific process, but Harry desperately needed the money.
She attributed the difference between men and women to social forces. Given that women were not in “competitive” society, it took longer to recognize when there was a problem, especially if they were only expected to complete basic domestic tasks. “A female with a mental age of 6 years survives in society about as well as a male with a mental age of 10 or 11 years,” Hollingworth wrote.
On account of Hollingworth’s research, Dorr concluded: “Women are beginning to understand themselves as no male scientist can ever understand them, and they face their great problem confident that nothing in nature stands in the way of its solution.”
