...feminist; I'm a human being," was the answer Mrs. Gandhi gave last week to the inevitable question about how it feels to be India's first woman Prime Minister. At another point, she archly expLalned that under the Indian constitution, all persons are equal, regardless of sex. She is, however, vitally interested in improving the lot of Indian women. "If you study history," she once said, "you will find that where women have risen, that country attained a high position, and wherever they remained dormant, that country slipped back...
Died. Kathleen Norris, 85, grandmother of the American sentimental novel (Passion Flower, Heartbroken Melody), widow of Author Charles G. Norris (Salt) and sister-in-law of the late social novelist Frank Norris (McTeague), a feminist and pacifist who in nearly half a century turned out 81 relentlessly wholesome books (10,000,000 copies sold), plus reportage and innumerable short stories for women's magazines; following a stroke; in San Francisco.

We view this position with more than a jot of disdain and more than a title of alarm...
...wigs, gowns and black silk stockings, British law remains so anti-feminist that only 100 women have yet joined the country's 2,000 barristers (lawyers who plead court cases).* Only four women barristers have yet earned the elite title of Queen's Counsel (senior barrister). Only one woman Q.C. has yet become a judge in one of Britain's nearly 400 county courts. Not surprisingly, the elevation of that same woman to the country's No. 3 tribunal, the High Court of Justice, has touched off a splendidly British protocol crisis...
