DIPLOMATIC WIVES
“Women diplomats usually marry diplomats, sb their training is not wasted," said Miss Coral Bell, assistant secretary at the office of the High Commissioner for Australia, at an Englishspeaking Union luncheon in Wellington. “A wife trained in diplomacy can be very useful to her husband,” she added.
It had been said that diplomacy and women were incompatible, said Miss Bell. She might have added that diplomacy in wives was a strict necessity.
Most countries now thought that women made useful members of their diplomatic corps, and even the British Foreign Office, “that stronghold of conservatism”, was admitting women to its ranks.
