Too Complacent
LONDON, March 3. WOMEN of Great Britain, Canada, France, the United States, Italy and Sweden took part in an international broadcast this week. The occasion was “International Night” of the International Federation of Business and Professional Women. The British branch held a reception in London at which Dr. Edith Summerskill. M.P. for West Fulham, deplored the fact that there still existed a certain amount of prejudice against business and professional women.
“Many of we women are-too complacent today," she said. “We think we have achieved everything that there is to achieve because women are now in business, in the professions and in polities. That is the wrong attitude. “We must remember that we are accepted but not necessarily welcomed in these professions, and we want the day to come when having proved our ability we shall be welcome in every sphere.”
