Show Women Much More Radical and Uncompromising Uncompromis-ing by Nature Than Men By DR. MARIAN PHILLIPS, Woman British Labor Leader. Women are radicals by nature. They are much more radical and uncompromising un-compromising than men. It's true that in the past women have seemed to be conservative. But that's because only until within comparatively recent times have they had a chance to participate in politics. So naturally natural-ly they have been indifferent. But once women become politically conscious, con-scious, they turn to the left. The recent election in England showed that. I think as women become more and more interested in political affairs their radical tendencies will come progressively to the front. I have little patience with a woman's party such as Alice Paul is heading in the United States. I do not believe in separate politics for women. It's not ncoc--:-ary. They should mix with the men. There are plenty of men who are interested in seeing that justice is done the women and more can be accomplished by working in conjunction with men sympathetic sym-pathetic to our aims than by working separately. The record of the Laboj party has shown that. Of course, there are problems which concern principally women and on which they should have and exercise the greater influence in dttermlr-ir dttermlr-ir the party's policy. |
