Abstract

Women are beginning to realize that social welfare programs must be based upon a thorough going reorganization of our economic habits of doing and of thinking. In the political sphere there are somewhat fewer women in elective offices but more, there, are experienced. The year 1932 saw little legislation affecting women, excepting certain enactments discriminating against married women. The 1930 census figures show encouraging trends in women's employment. They also indicate that women are becoming a more and more permanent part of the economic organization-the working women are somewhat older each census year and the proportion of married women gainfully employed increases markedly.
