WASHINGTON Women in Cuba have had little trouble in at
taining positions of responsibility, says Doctora Margarita Ordetx
(pronounced Ordets), one of the country's leading feminists.
Dr. Ordetx. petite, smartly dressed, brown-eyed and blonde, a
well-known journalist, is literary editor of the Cuban woman's ma
gazine, Vanidades, and a member of the staff of the daily newspaper
Prensa Libre. She is also professor of English at the Professional
School of Commerce of Havana. "
"Cuban women have distinguished themselves In many fields,"
Dr. Ordetx told me on a visit to Washington. "We have a woman
senator, several women members of Congress. The undersecretary of
ustice Is a good-looking young woman. A woman heads the Depart
ment of Culture at the city hall, the Department of Fine Arts of the
Education Department and the Corporation of Social Assistance."
"We've had the vote since 1934 and we've taken full advantage
of it," she added.
This was not Dr. Ordetx' first visit here. She sad the distinction
of being the first woman chancellor of an embassy when she served
in that post at the Cuban mission here from 1923 to 1927.
"That was 'my first and only diplomatic post," she said. "I like
my magazine and newspaper job better.
A graduate of the University of Havana with doctor's degrees In
political, economic and social sciences, she writes poetry as a hobby
and participates in amateur theatricals. Currently she is deep in plans
for a huge benefit to raise funds to buy preventive medicine for
underprivileged children in Havana.
"It s hard to get government aid for children who are not actu
ally ill," she said. "We think by using preventive measures we can
keep many from getting to this stage. We're quite worked up with
the project; In fact, we are in love with it."
