Women to the Fore
N the interests of peace, and in the hope of restricting the incidence of inferiority complex among the malés of the community, it should be stated that the new feature, What Women Are Doing, which will be broadcast during the ZB programmes for women, beginning on Monday, April 21, and continuing on Fridays thereafter, is intended as a moral tonic for women, not primarily as an attack on male prestige. Prue Gregory, who arranged the -series for the -Commiercial division, has selected from the records of contemporary feminine achievement several examples of success in unusual fields. In the first programnie she speaks of a Canadian, Charlotte Whitton. Miss Whitton, formerly a leeturef, author and newspaper columnist, is. now Her Worship the Mayor of Ottawa, capital city of her nation. Another Canadian, Mrs. Hodges, is the heroine of the second talk. After’a successful beginning as a newspaper woman, Mrs. Hodges entered politics and became, eventually, Madame Speaker in the parliament of British Columbia, at Victoria, Later talks in the series bring into the spotlight women of other countries who have excelled in on with men. This programme, in fact, should explain why in some quarters today one hears the cry of "Equal rights for men!"
