NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN
‘THE National Council of Women of New Zealand, which grew out of the Suffragette Movement 58 years ago, is today the most influential women’s organisation in New Zealand. From the start, at a time when women weren't expected to think-much less talkabout the affairs of the day, it has discussed such questions as prison reform, women on juries, capital punishment, education and parental responsibility. A half-hour documentary programme about the Council will be heard from YA stations and 3YZ in the Women’s Session on Wednesday, November 24, and will also be broadcast by 4YZ. The programme tells how the Council began, ‘how it works and what it has achieved, and discusses its international work, its status with the United Nations and its hopes for the future. Among those heard in it are Mrs. M. J. Forde (right), immediate past-president.
