Women are just what men jour nalists make them, so Miss Ellen!! Wilkinson, labour member of the House of Commons says: "Women want to get on with their jobs unobtrusively," Miss Wilkinson declares. "But men insist in making sex distinction. It is not obtrusiveness, but the struggle for existance, that makes women insist that they should be consi- dered, not as women, but as human beings."
