Twenty-three out of the twenty-five contributors to a book on “Careers for Girls’’ are women, says a writer in “Time and Tide.” The two men—the writers of the articles on “Dispensing” and “Pharmacy”—may be only too easily identified. Why, oh why, when female authors always refer to the j members of their sex as “women” will ; men still persist in describing them as “ladies”? Is it because all males have a secret hankering to be known as “gentlemen”? Finally, does any woman chemist exist who will seriously accept the suggestion that she has chosen her profession because it is “ ’nice/ delicate work” which on account ot' “the perfume, odours of drugs, and general mystery of the making and mixing of medicines” has “always appealed to the feminine mind”? Such remarks as these, as well as the curious statement of Mrs. Champion de Crespigny in her article on “Literature” that “a woman should never lose sight of the fact that she is a woman,” make strange comI pany for the names of such leading ■ feminists as Lady Rhondda and Professor Cullis.
