Rights of French Women Increased by Government
VICHY The detention of many heads of French families as war prisoners in Germany is raising women’s legal status and duties. A draft law would name women heads of households if husbands are absent and allow them to manage their own and their home’s affairs with limited need for male approval. Men vote, but many are absent, reducing practical suffrage. Existing rules barred women from office, yet the government has appointed women to municipal councils and, without mayors, women may perform civil marriages.
