Equal Pay For Women

Importance of Her Work Compared With Men (“Dominion” Special Service: By Airmail) (By Fenella) London, June 18. YVOMEN are still to be regarded as the “interrupted sex,” said Miss Vera Brittain, the Writer,: at. a luncheon I attended the other day. “It is impossible,” she said, “for women to give their whole concentration to their work, and this fact is due to the assumption that a woman’s work is not as important as a man’s. "Consequently, whenever one of those trivial domestic problems crops up, no matter how important the work a woman happens to be doing, she must set it aside while.she attends to the domestic problem.” The question of equal pay, Miss Brittain continued, was one of the most vital questions of the present time because the whole future status of women, not only in England but all over the world, depended on whether women really did win this recognition of themselves as human beings.
