Rh Citizenship has brought to women responsibilities as well as privileges. Men, during their centuries of citizenship, have fought and bled and died for their country, and the ideals it represented to them. Women will never ﬁght on the ﬁeld of battle. They, like most men, do not believe in war and, unlike men, are able to resist its urge because they have not the fear of the challenge of cowardice being hurled at them. Their battles will be fought on the ﬁeld of human ideas, opinions and judgments, and there they will contend, struggle and suffer, if need be, for their country and the ideals it represents to them.

Women of the United States gained national suffrage only eight years ago. Adult women had grown up without full-citizenship consciousness; girl children who were then ten or twelve years old, have just now reached voting age with half-citizenship consciousness; those born at or since the granting of suffrage have not yet acquired their majority. What will be the result of "Women in Government" in the next decade or two, when a whole generation of young women will have been born and reared with full-citizenship consciousness?
