DAME SMYTH'S CHALLENGE.

"Even to-day, in many walks of life, women who have a message to deliver And themselves con- fronted with a barrier of prejudice | and will such as the men who have erected and kept it in repair are never called upon 'to face."---- Dume Ethel Smyth, the composer.

The denunication af sex anta- gonism in many callings in which women are interested, and the stern fight which Dame Ethel Smyth declares she had to make: against it, has caused much com- ment,

Many women echo Dame Ethel's words, others believe that the state of affairs is not to-day as bad as is kuggested in the story of her struggle for success.

A Daily Chronicle representative was given the views of women last month in many walks of life.

Miss Lilian Baylis declared she hal never personally experienced this ill-will in the struggle to gain recognition, but. she understood that in some quarters there was a prejudice against women which had to be reckoned with.

"AS

women achieve success, however, that prejudice and there barriers will grow less.

Mrs. H. W. Nevinson, wife of the well-known writer and a J.P.:

Prejudice and will against women are not so strong now as when I was young. Then it was something awful. If you wanted to do anything that was not con- ventional you were soon told about| it, and in regard to the struggle for success, I do not think Dame Ethel has exaggerated.

i remember the trouble there wan about education. I wanted to learn Latin and Groek, but my nother thought I should never be married if I became a blue-stock- ing. She wept and told me I was too young to understand.

London Woman Doctor:

༄

I think the best answer to this question of prejudice is to be seen in the attitude of certain London' hospitals Lowards women students to-day. They do not admit them. But in the medical profession there is room for both, and there is a distinct and growing demand for the services of women,

Secretary of the Women. Civil Servants' Association::

Women do not want to usurp men's positions. They only desire to share them.

Secretary of the Association of Women Clerks and Secretaries:

There was a point in business which was not dificult for women Lo reach, but in the administra- five branches they were up against prejudice.

Employers realise that women, are quite as cleient as men. But worgen get married, and there, ta created a tendency not to teach the female worker the higher com plexities of the business.
