Women Leaders Plan Postwar Work At Austrian Convention
At the ninth convention of the Association of Austrian Women's organizations in Vienna leading women from Germany Austria and Hungary debated postwar problems. They urged abolition of the celibacy clause for women in public office and sought official recognition of housewives as a calling plus domestic courses for girls beyond school age and care for children. They backed one year of community service for women to match men's military service and proposed more women factory inspectors and programs for health and farming. There is a broader note that there are more heroes on the stage than in real life.
