How I Understand the Question of My Political Rights
Continued on page 27

cheap material values in place of high spiritual ideals...

Woman, then, is likewise not to blame for the state to which she has come; the blame, all the blame, lies upon the social and traditional order which has wronged her from the beginning and stinted her natural rights in life, and whose product is this present condition from which we suffer now and from which we know no deliverance.

Some years ago, ladies and gentlemen, I counted myself among the opponents where woman's political rights were concerned — because by nature I am a "woman" before all else.. And I supposed, like many of my sex, that to pursue the woman's cause was a departure from femininity and from woman's original nature.. But on my recent return to the American University to complete my higher studies, I experienced for myself a certain aspect of the mentality of the university students, as regards their view of their fellow women students, which led me to change my opinion...

Thanks to these circumstances, which opened before my eyes new horizons of thought I had not heeded, it became plain to me at close range that these students — a choice elite of the rising Arab generation — do not regard their women colleagues with that lofty regard equal to their regard for one another. Rarely did I find between the two sexes a purely scholarly comradeship in the true sense.

I felt likewise that the girl student was usually the readier to realize this scholarly relation and to give it earnestness and steadiness, whereas the young man was most often the first to descend — reminding the young woman, with a glance of his eye or a passing remark of his,

that she is a female — so that she falls back upon herself,

bewildered and alarmed; and when she does not find in herself the power to raise the young man to a spiritual and scholarly level worthy of university life, she takes one of two roads: either she exaggerates her elegance and the display of the marks of femininity in her body, and descends with him to whatever he wishes, in compliance

with his desire and in gratification of his strong, dominating manhood; or her pride is wounded, she thinks ill of her colleague and of the worth of his feeling, and this works a reaction in her conduct: she withdraws into herself, stifles her feelings, and shuns her fellow students, preferring total

separation from the other sex. And
