Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman's Part in Government Woman's fundamental part in government is to do efficiently what her position requires of her as individual member of society: mother, sister, wage-earner, wage-payer, purchaser. No woman has the right to be a problem or a problem creator, no matter how usefully occupied with other people's affairs. Of increasing importance is woman's second part in government, that of member of voluntary nonofficial organization or group: woman's club, social settlement, trade union, educational council, private charity. Women's organizations when inefficiently conducted may hamper government, just as efficient team work by women will always make efficient government easier. Woman's third part in government is that of direct, conscious influencer of public opinion and official action. Here her influence is limited by what she knows, sees, wants and talks about three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, whether she has the ballot or not. For this third part the most urgent need is for methods to insure straight-seeing, straight-thinking and straight-acting on public questions between election times. Woman's obligation to serve is measured by her opportunity to serve. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
