tility to these movements, arguing with various pretexts — the most prominent being that woman's cultural condition at present does not permit it. If what they say is true, then in it lies an implicit admission of the failure of those in authority to take woman by the hand culturally and to open the fields of learning and culture before her as before man. They argue also that woman, by her physiological constitution, was not prepared for public life either, and was created for nothing beyond the sphere of the home — an opinion refuted by the decisive proof we can touch with our hands in woman's success in Europe and America and some of the Asian lands: a success of palpable effect in political, social, and cultural life.
And then, is there any doubt that woman in the Arab countries has demonstrated relative competence in the scientific, social, and cultural fields she has entered? Even those who have not received a sufficient share of culture have shown full aptitude as workers in the various factories, and we do not exaggerate if we say that a great number of them bear the burden of providing for whole families. Is it not selfishness that woman should be required to bear man's duties, and then be denied her simplest rights as a citizen?
The swelling of the family's economic burdens, the many demands of life, and then these vast projects which every government has proclaimed in its programs and which aim at the country's good — none of these will be realized unless every individual of the nation musters his effort wholly and sets out to work. And if we take up the matter from a psychological standpoint, we observe that the morale of a woman whose rights are recognized makes her more disposed to work with devotion and sincerity for the sake of a better reality. Nor do we wish here to strip woman of her responsibility on this path, for the road she dreams of walking is a road that calls for the exercise of observation and thought, study and reading, perseverance, and the acquiring of an aware and comprehensive culture that encourages the
taking of her hand. And all we hope of the governments of the Arab countries which have not decreed this right is that they hasten to proclaim it, and that they understand that woman's entry into public life is a natural result of this social and industrial development which has swept over our society or will sweep over it — so that the term
of three months which the General Assembly fixed as the date for carrying out the resolution on woman's rights may not expire before these rights have been proclaimed in Egypt and in her Arab sisters.
