ABSTRACT

Leadership of women’s organizations has fallen into the hands of radicals to an alarming extent. There is a conspicuous turning away from public work on the part of many able women who have formerly been active. Radical leadership may cost all that sane, progressive women have achieved through the centuries. The National Council of Women of the United States is affiliated with the International Council of Women of which the Marchioness of Aberdeen and Temair is president. Sara Bard Field, one of the foremost leaders of the National Women’s Party, was chosen with Jane Addams to make the presentation speech of the three suffrage statutes to Congress in 1921. The present officers in the National Council of Women have served through many years and there have been few changes in the chairmen of committees during the administration of Mrs. Philip North Moore, who was re-elected president for the fourth time at Decatur.
