however we turn the matter over, and however we face the problem, we find that the best equality lies in the cooperation of woman and man, not in a rivalry that aims at an equality far removed from logic and from humanity.
And finally I must close this talk with the words of a man who is, without doubt, a friend of us women. He said:
"In the depths of every woman there is a mother, and the mother is the seedbed of men; so let our women labor to create these hero men, and thereby they will have won the right to vote and to be elected."
(Translated by the editorial staff)
In this issue the reader will find a magnificent story from the tales of de Maupassant, rendered into Arabic in an elegant style by Mrs. Salma al-Haffar. It is the story of the woman whose blood comes to know all the release that life holds, so that her lovely youth takes its ease in the warmth of the beloved's bed... and of a mother whose motherhood triumphs over her body, so that she dies alone in crushing bitterness. Mrs. al-Haffar has wished to propose to the readers, women and men, of The Woman's Voice a referendum under the title «Who Is the Criminal» — the mother, the lover, or the son?? The verdict will not be so easy as first comes to mind. And Mrs. al-Haffar stands ready to give her final answer once the referendum has been held.
