WHAT ABOUT WOMEN
AFTER THE WAR?

The length and breadth of the land
you can hear these days that women are
"emancipated' from homes and stenog-
rapher's notebooks and will not be con-
tent after the war to go back to the ways
of life they knew before Pearl Harbor.
There are prophets who'll tell you that
the women are in the shipyards the ma
chineshopS, the assembly lines to stay.
The gals will never go back to being fem
inine, they'll tell you, and the men are
going to have to battle for every stevedor-
ing job on the waterfronts with dock
walloping amaZons.
At the risk of being considered reac
tionary, old-fashioned. out of step ana
just bit balmy. we'd like to utter 4
refined but heartfelt "poppycock.
We rely partly on unstable history for
our dissenting opinion. Those among Us
with long memories hear the new prOph.
ecies as mere echoes of former day.
Remember, back in 1917 and Is, how
everybody was holding forth about the
new place women were making for them
selves in the factories on the farms,
everywhere?
And look what came of it.
We rely more for our opinion on the
love of a woman for good hat, however
w ait ullllI IIlS llllllluelN SlIOpS are dSSoi
atng their windows again with the fetch
ing creations of the postwar world, liz
stead of with some militarily inspired
headpieceS. and you'll see the ladies torn
between two desires-to wear that hat,
or to work where they cannot wear 1t.
And, we venture to predict, the hat wiz
win.
Seriously. however, we do not believe
the women want to work at these jobs III
factories and on the waterfront. as a
steady diet. They're doing it today. and
being mighty good sports about it, be-
cause there's war that everybody's got
to win. We don't believe the women want
to make it permanent thing, any more
than the men do. In the long run. the
fellows don't care so much for the work
horse type, and the girls don't want to be
the feminine equivalent of Percherons.
There's going to be lot of change in
the world, and in its ways of living. but
we cannot bring ourselves to believe that
one of the changes will be toward phys
ical leveling of the sexes in the work
shops of the country.

Women in industry are still consider
ed somewhat in the believe-it-or-not cate

Are they really replacing men? Are
they good workers?'
Here's the answer At the Sample
shipyard at Boothbay Harbor, Maine
women shipWorkers are building Navy
minesWeepers and ocean-gOing tugs at a
clip surprising records established by
their men predecessors.
The Sample yard was one of the first
in New England constructing wooden

And if anybody shouted the taunt, You
II be sorry" he is now undoubtedly very
red in the face.
An Army and Navy e for Excellence
has just been awarded this shipyard, and
to the women goes large share Of the
credit for its merit.
Six months ago many Of the women
now in industry were plying needle and
thread. To-day they work with heavier
tools. Their patterns arc the frames OF
ships and planes; their goods steel
instead Of cotton.
But all this IS lust the beginning. Be

that the huge Fore River Shipyards Of

manned 50 per cent by women Millions
more will leave the fireside for the fac
