WOMEN DEMONSTRATE AGAINST OLD TRADITION BACK TO DARK AGES
•By Telegraph— Copyright).
(Rec. 9.50 p.m.) Lond'on, Nov. 15. Twenty-nine leading women's organisations, representative of the entire feminist movement in Britain, at a mass meeting in-the Central Hall at Westmi-nster, inaugurated a national movement upon the question of women's right to earn. Mrs. Petherick Lawrence said the old tradition that man and woman were one, and that the man was that one, was very alive to-day. It was a challenge to the right of a married woman to earn a living. German women, married and unmarried, had been dismissed from their posts and sent home and told that their trxie function was to exhaust themselves in child-bearing. "A triumph for such ideas," she said, "will mean that we are heading for the dark ages." The Viscountess Astor said that there were 6,000,000 women wageearners in Britain to-day, of whom nearly 1,000.000 were married.
