ECONOMIC EQUALITY FOR WOMEN
TO THE EDIXOE OP THE PEZS3, Sir.—While not desiring to trespass upon the views expressed by your contributor “Anne Page,’’ her article induces me to add. my protest against the present economic position of women and (may I add?) children. Many married women and nearly all children, have no independent monetary claim upon the country’s production. Here we have a great section of the community, economically disfranchised through circumstances which must be preserved in the interests of the whole community The need for a basic economic equality is beginning to make itself urgently felt in many ways, notably in the fall of the birth-rate. It is imperative if we are to revive the urge towards maintaining a healthy increase of population that something should be done, and quickly, and it seems to me that the provision of a guaranteed minimum income for everyone is the only logical way.—Yours, etc., ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY. December 11. 1937.
