Interview with A Member.
The entrance of women into. Active Parliamentary life has been, tardily, and not without much misgiving, accepted by the Englishman. To-day, there ere two women r presentatives at Westminster. and "the results of the recent German elections show that no fewer than 35 wo men have seats in the Reichstag) -the German Parliament.
The Sunday Times gives a brief Laccount of an interview with one] of the successful candidates for! the Reichstag-Frau Schreiber, a member of the Social Democratic Party. She 8259:-
"Personality plays far less & part in German politics than in Euglish. The German system of voting by list tends to do aw with any prejudice there is against women, for the elector does not think of whom be is voting for, but for what party he represents, and supports any can- didate his party may put for ward,"
There has been a tendency, bilberte, to consider that the woman aspirant for Parliamen- tary life is a type apart. Saya Frau Schreiber:-
"There seems to be no special type of women in the Reichelag Une sees every class and condi-
2. tion, from the aristocrate to thej working women. Marriage makes very little difference, for, although there are many mothers of large families, at least a score of un- married women have been elect- ed.".
