Australia Leads in Social Legislation Says Linda Littlejohn
Australian feminist Linda Littlejohn, after tea at the White House, urged U S women to enter politics, citing Australia’s wage guarantees for men, birth bonuses for low income mothers, equal guardianship, and a married woman's full control of income. She argued politics is now a women’s sphere as home life and social matters become government concerns. The piece notes a quoted line on equal representation and roles in government. The article also oddly includes a line about the 1823 Japanese earthquake death toll.
