Is the fight over
or just beginning?
There ate many of nty close friends who really get uptight
over Women’ s Liberation. Women haveatways been lit e r a ted.
T h is is a woman’sw orld. The question that comes to many is,
"How fa r w ill it go ” 1’oes this mean we must elim inate re
quirements for separate toilet fa cilitie s based on sex? 1 he
question is, " Is the fight over or just beginning?"
"G ive us back our suitering, suffering rather than in d life r-
entism . . . fo r out of suffering may come the cure. [Setter
to have pain than paralysis.” Ifyouare a student of Women s
L ib, guess who said that.
It was Florence Nightingale in 1852, but you are excused
fo r thinking of Germaine Greer, fo r it comes very close to
her ominous and vague predictions about the future of eman
cipated women. "T he
d a rk w ith o u ta n y g u id e .lt
may seem at fir s t that she merely exchanges one mode of suf
fering fo r another. But she may at least claim to have made
a definite choice which is the fir s t prerequisite of m oral ac
tion. She may never herself see the ultimate goal, fo r the
fabric of society is not unravelled ma single life tim e , but she
may state it as her belief and find hope in it . ”
Florence Nightingale saw suffering only as part of the
achieving, w hereas Germaine G reer sees it as the aftermath
of successful emancipation. Nevertheless, it is an interesting
point of comparison, one to which T re v o r L loyd's book on the
suffragette movement gives rise .
The short history gives a lucid account of the p o litica l gams
and losses and the chief figures involved in women’ s struggle
fo r equality. It also covers the political and economic back
ground. which is certainly of equal importance in understand
ing the origins of the movement, and, as that kind of history
always is, infinitely more interesting.
Lloyd manages to cover a wide area ina small space with
out being either confusing o r dull, and the book is fu ll of in
formation, like the deviation of the word "s p in s te r” ( if a coun
try woman did not get m arried she could always make a little
money spinning) and the change in shopping from bargaining
to price-ticketing ja saving device said to have begun with the
Quakers in England and A m erica).
The struggle fo r women’s rights has always provoked in
credible peculiarities of taste and opinion. In B iblical tunes
one may re fe r to Ruth. In 1848 at Seneca F alls. New York.
Am elia Jenks Bloomer tried to provide more sensible dress
fo r women by designing a calf-length dress over ankle-length
pantaloons to take the place of the absurdly inconvenient
crinoline, but the idea was regarded as ridiculous and inde
cent.
As fo r male chauvenism, there would hardly be a better ex
ample than S ir A lroth Wright, a doctor of some distinction
who wrote in 1912 that half of the women in the country went
mad to some extent as a result of the menopause, and making
it clear that he regarded m ilitancy a symptom of mental i ll
ness. His crowning rem ark was, "T h e re are no good
women, but only women who have lived under the influence of
good men.’ In a curious way this gives sense and depth to
modem expressions of frustration, like the M s. idea, which
can appear frivolous out of context.
"Suffragettes International: The World-Wide Campaign fo r
Women's Rights'* by 7 revor Lloyd costs only $2.50. It is a
fascinating history complied from the best T .V . documentar
ies, photographs, cartoons, drawings and advertisements,
b u ilt up in a way that supplements the test and is an achieve
ment of research in its e lf. Yet this is no coffee table book,
only a paperback.
It should have a cooling influence on the heated discussions
that the subject of women's rights frequently arouses. The
facts, set out and viewed from a distance, present a very te ll
ing picture. It must at least refute the argument that
Women’ s Lib is totally
anarchic and shallow-minded.
It does more than that, too, It reveals the working of human
organizations, the functions of revolution and reform and the
curious side-stepping ways by which progress is made.
Lloyd's constant theme is that the ideal of "Votes fo r Wo
m e n ", though the war cry that we all think of when looking
back at that period, was not a prim ary factor in achiev
ing equality. In most cases, votes fo r women came as a re
sult of freedoms previously achieved o r a temporary political
convenience. Votes were not. in fact, the fir s t step in the fight,
but the sign that it was nearly over. It is doubtful, however,
whether today’s generation of protestors would see it in quite
that light.

Walking Through
Glass
Leaving her d entid’s office.
M artha headed for the lobby of
the building Blit as she reached
the exit, she mistook a glass panel
tor the door and pushed right
through it
Cut and bruised. M artha de
cided to seek damages from the
owner of the building
" The door is glass and so is the
panel," she complained tn a court
hearing " It is all very confusing.”

But the bo lding owner saw no
gixxl reason for her confusion He
pointed out that the door had a
metal frame, a hydraulic mech
anism. and a handle all plainly
visible. Result: M artha’s claim
was turned down. As one judge
put it:
"T he injury was due to her own
lack of care. She was the author
of her own misfortune."
The growing use of glass in
homes and buildings has led to
numerous lawsuits in which some
o ne in a d v e r t e n t l y ‘ ’ w a lk e d
through glass." In homes alone,
such accidents happen about 40,-
(XX) times a year.
How alert does the law expect
you to be in discerning danger?
One key factor, as in the case
above, is the presence of visible
features that should put a reason
ably careful person on guard.
Another factor is your fam il
iarity with the premises. A woman
shopper barged into the glass
panel beside the door at her
neighborhood supermarket. But
a court rejected her damage
claim largely on the ground that
she had been using the same dcxir
for years without any difficulty.
H o w e v e r, in o th e r c irc u m
stances, inattention may well be
excused. Consider this case:
An eight-year-old child, visiting
at the home of some family
friends, ran into a sliding glass
door. But it seems that the light
ing was poor, and that the door—
kept spotlessly clean at all times
— hail no telltale fixtures to make
it noti< cable.
A court accordingly found no
fault with the youthful victim.
Ordering the home owner to pay
damages, the court said he could
easily have called attention to the
hazard with a strategic strip of
colored tape.
