WOMAN A WORLD POWER
What is to be the status of the American woman when
this war is over? This is a question that is exercising the
minds of a great many people these lays. For a genera
tion, now, she has been contending for equal political
rights, and of late years she has been coming into her own
in this particular. For a number of years, too, she has
been gradually invading the ranks of business, though not
to any alarming (?) extent. But with the calling of the
millions of men to the army, the call has at last come to
woman to demonstrate that she is, as members of-her sex
have long contended, capable of shouldering the business
.'oad and bearing it "manfully."
It is no unconimon sight now to see women doing what
has always been considered "men's work." Not such as
clerking, bookkeeping and all forms of clerical work, but
hard labor, work that until lately it was not thought wo
men were capable of performing. We see them on public
works of various kinds, in factories and work shops; and
just lately a great steel magnate was quoted as saying
that he would not be surprised if before long he had to
take on a thousand women to take the place of men draft
ed for the army.
But, when the present emergency is past, will woman
resume her old sphere of semi-dependent and home body;
or will she hold tenaciously to what she has gained and re
fuse to be ousted from her recently-won vantage? In
case she should consent to resume her old status, the world
wouldl soon readjust itself and human life would continue
toflow on as before. But in the latter event, the entire
rusiness fabric of the world will have to be remodeled and
rew adjustments and alignments made. The addition of
a few million female workers will make a great change in
labor conditions-a change that will call for careful hand
ling.
But perhaps the most vital question in this connection
is that of its influence on the homes of the land. The Uni
ted States has always been pre-eminently a nation of
homes. With us the home life has been enthroned above
every other interest of life, and nothing was suffered to
interfere with its highest possible development. Will the
home suffer in the years to come? Before the question of
"the woman at work" is definitely solved, this one vital
question will have to be answered, and on its answer
hangs the destiny of a nation.
