Australia, followed.
Miss Goidstein is a bit OF a cynic about
the estate OF natrimony. She made some
caustic comments on the old common
law which gave a married woman no
rights in her husbands property or in
her own child. and spoke of the in
equality of divorce laws.
we have no women lawyers. clergy
men, engineers, or architects ia Aus
tralia," said Miss Goldstein, but we have
many able women doctors.
Women have no right to sit in the
governing bodies OF our universities. al
though this is about to be amended in
Victoria. Women throughout the Gov
eminent service and in the state schools
are worked harder and paid less than
men, often hardly more than half as
much.
In the Industrial ranks women get %
per cent less than men. but the arbitra-
ton boards have improved this condition
by protecting their interests. in private
unrcsulsted em9loyments women are
wrctchedly paid.
We never forget the debt we owe to
those grand old pioneers, the american
suffrage women. We hope to manage our
voting in such a way that it will hasten
the time when you will also secure the
ballot. But the ballot is not everything
IL is only a lever. There must be or
