NO MORE LADIES

Sir-I am a woman worker, and I write to object to the title of the series called, in the programmes published in The Listener, "For My Lady." I suppose this title is meant to have snob-value, but as there are very few titled women in New Zealand, I should think the persons responsible for the names of features would be better to choose names to appeal to a wider public. The interesting thing is, of course, that a lady, according to the Anglo-Saxon, is one who kneads or digs bread. So perhaps the series is planned for those women, mainly in the back-blocks, who make their own bread. Even so, I don’t think those busy women would be thrilled with the title, directed at them; it smacks too much of lavender (or moth balls), and old lace. What is wrong with "For Women." "About Women." or "For the

Housewife"?
