TURKISH EMANCIPATION
MARCHING WITH THE TIMES The Turkish Government has laid before the Great National Assembly at Angora a new Municipal Bill the outstanding feature of which is the extension to women of the rights possessed by men in municipal elections. Though they have repeatedly given proofs, in Turkey that they are by no means inferior t men, Turkish women have fought but little for their rights. That they have been given rights is due to the Government’s postulate that women should share not only the tasks, but the privileges, of men. There is talk of granting them admission to the People’s Party, the party in power and the only party legally constituted. A Turkish woman, formerly president of the Women's Association, has already asked for admission. One of the leading Turkish dailies anticipates that by the end of 1932 Turkish women will have participated in State elections.
