Careers for

Girls now consider their careers
early in their school life just as boys
do. Tastes for certain kinds of
work seem to run in certain fami-

as well as sons should take up the
professions and businesses Of their
fathers, if they want ito. In my

Strength
Increasing

From 1867 to the year precein
the great war in Europe the suf-
frage question has been before every
Parliament that has sat at West
minister, and, with one exception
(1880), there has been a determined
attempt to bring vote at each
years session. Increased strength
in Parliament for the advocates was
revealed at each succeeding session;
consequently, there was at no time
solid ground for encouragement.
Women in many countries or indie
pendent states long have had limited
rights. But only widows or spin
sters owning property and paying
taxes have been accorded the priv
llege of voting even in municipal
elections. National recognition, or
full franchise rights, in Britain,
France and other countries of West
ern Europe, as well as in America,
has remained to develop as che Of
the most important consequences Of
the great war. The war gave
woman spectacular opportunity to
establish hes worth, more than ever
before, as a citizen entitled to the
privileges Of franchise and Office
holding. Britain and the United
States are now recognizing the fact.

TIME British Parliament has
had before it for some time
the bill which struck out every
disqualification of women citizens for
public service, and the sweep Of the
reform reached from service on
juries to service in the higher
House Of Parliament, the House of
Lords. Under it English women
could be mayors, aldermen and
judges; they might become doctors
Of medicine or surgery, or attorneys,
anywhere within the confines of the
United Kingdom. They could con-
tend or compete with their brothers
in any occupation, profession or
business. Thus they might be leg
islators as we'll. There would be
peeresses in the upper chamber.
The growth of this feminist move
ment in Britain reached its sub
climax after nearly three quarters of
a century Of effort, and yet Britain
was not the precursor in the cam
paign that has spread throughout
every country in the classification of
western civilization" 1t remained
for Sweden, then Finland, then b.
hernia, to inaugurate the equal
rights-for-women fight in Europe.
England and Wales fell in line next,
but received the idea only to a linn
tied extent.
