WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT


In Arkansas the other day farm
woman was seen driving tractor
ploWing corn and holding small
child in her lap.
If photograph were snapped
of that mother it could well be
used as the picture of the woman
of the next few years
For if the needs of farming, OF
industry, of business, of professions
are met, many women are going to
have to bring up their children
with one hand and another hard
job with the other.
No longer will we have women
saying proudly Il devote all OF my
time to my husband"-or Ito my
husband and children"
There will be women of course
who will go on doing just that
and it will be all right, but it
wont be anything to be especially
proud Of The women who can't
find time for anything but her
family will, naturally, have to de-
vote herself to it. But she won't
feel more virtuous than her sis
ters who are able to add full or
parttime job to their home duties.
And the world won't regard her
as more virtuous, either
For women are going to have
to do everything their time and
strength will permit until the war
is won.
The women themselves don't
If their men are gone, they would
just as soon be working hard, 50
hard that there won't be SO much
time for worrying and wondering
and being lonesome and discourag-
ed.
Working with every ounce of
their energy will make this trying
period easier-not harder for them.
1t will help them to know that they,
too, are doing something to help
win the war.
So the mother on the tractor,
with the tiny child in her arms,
could become a symbol for Wolten
in wartime, when women have to
do Women's work with one hand
and mems work with the other.

me to remind you in advance:
Purple shouldn't be worn by half
of the women who do wear it when
it's fashionable.
It's the same old story that I
have been harping on every time
some new fashion, fad or beauty
aid goes over with bang: no mat
ter how smart, snappy, cute, or
otherwise enviable the last word y
may be, it is no good for you un-
less it suits your own personality,
coloring style and manner d.
Lots of women have found thru
experimentation that they cannot
wear certain shades of lipstick
and nail polish. These shades SIM
