In 1917, Slowe won the <a href="/wiki/American_Tennis_Association" title="American Tennis Association">American Tennis Association</a>'s first tournament.

According to Slowe’s writings, she defined the modern world as a place where all people “strove for professional achievement and personal fulfillment.” Slowe took major professional risks to implicate sexual harassment against female students by male faculty members. In 1927, she composed a memo regarding a parent's concerns over a professor's vulgar and "improper" language.
