1942's Woman of the Year
Will Be 'EVerywOman'
BY RUTH MILLETT

The year 1912 will test the loyalty
the courage, the patience of the
American woman. And it's my hum
BILE bet that she will pass the test
with flying colors.
1912 will show whether, beneath
her smart cOiffure, the modern
woman has as much old-faShioned
common sense as the women who
helped their men build America
1t will show whether her care
fully cared for hands are just as
capable of performing any task
that comes her way as were the
work hardened hands of her great
grandmother that could hold a rifle,
guide a ploW or rock crying baby.
1t will show whether a woman
used to standing beside her man
can step back to stand behind him
Strengthening him with her own
courage, her own faith, and her
own serenity of spirit.
Yes, l942 will test American Wom-
anhood. We think we're pretty
good. We pride ourselves on how
much more we know than did our
feminine ancestors who never heard
of vitaminS. or balanced diets, or
child psychology, and who had no
notion OF the Importance of a Wom-
ans keeping up with her husband
But have we as much courage as
those earlier American women?
Have we their pioneer spirit?
SACRIFICES WILL NOT
BE SPECTACULAR
Wen soon know. For there will be
great sacrifices asked of American
women in 1912. The greatest, OF
course, will be the cheerful, cour-
ageouS sending of our men into the
fight that has been forced upon US
But there will be other trials in
store for us. We will have to be
both mothers and fathers to oul
families. Many of us will have tc
both support and care for small
children. We may have to scrimr
and save and struggle to keep our
homes together Some of us will
have to put off marriage and the
building of our homes until the
war is over.
And always there will be the
worry, the anxiety, the fear we
must learn to control.
Our role in national defense-at
least at firSt-will not be spectacu-
lar We will be called on to fill in
wherever we are needed, more often
set to doing humble tasks than ex-
citing ones.
1912 will show us up for what
we are underneath our makeup.
Knowing that, let's give an ac-
count of ourselves that will maze
our grandchildren as proud of us
as We are proud of Americas pio-
ncer women.
