illiterate woman follows her husband's opinion.
Q — Then why does the illiterate man vote??
A — I say the vote should be withheld from all illiterates of both sexes.
Q — A rumor is going about in some circles to the effect that woman should resort to refusing to pay taxes until she obtains her right. What is your opinion?
A — I should like to persuade the women not to resort to violence; I am not among those who approve the rightness of civil disobedience. Let them keep to publicity, writing, and demanding.
Q — Woman has been demanding "gently" since 1935, and gentleness has gotten her nowhere.
A — Have you ever contemplated one of the little springs of

A — I think it fitting that the Lebanese woman obtain political rights gradually, as far as circumstances permit.
Q — Do you think the highest authorities intend to give her these rights?
A — I think the highest authorities are not opposed to it in principle.
Q — If this session passes and the electoral law is not amended in woman's favor, do you think it fitting that she enter the municipal councils as a first step?
A — I see no objection to
making the educated Lebanese woman a voter and to bringing her into the municipalities of the designated cities.
