after her work.
She holds a job, and everything life requires by way of security. Among the workers of the advanced countries, women exceed a third, and never in any age has woman had a greater share in work than she has today. This applies to the single girl, who does not carry a wife's responsibility. Nor does woman stop at this limit, content with the simple job; she goes beyond it to claim leadership and the high callings, such as medicine and the law, and she knocks at the door of engineering and pharmacy; and there is an ample number of women writers and teachers!
3 — She loves children! For a number of years the debate has been running among the psychologists on this subject: Is motherhood an instinct born with woman?
The girl loves to work for the rearing of children, and desire and aptitude differ from one woman to another. Here is Samira, who volunteers two evenings of every month, spending them at the child welfare association: she reads to the children and organizes their games, and comes home worn out — but her face glows with tenderness and affection, and she wants more of this work.
The psychologists say there are two kinds of motherly love: the love we express with a gasp when we see a beautiful child. But a mother's love for her children far surpasses this; and every child needs both kinds of love — the mother's personal love, and the general love of those around him.
So if the single girl volunteers to spend part of her free time with children, she meets two needs: the child's need for tenderness, and
her own need to give from the flow of this affection.
4 — Her social activity is vigorous. I tried to reach Amal by telephone at about eleven in the morning, and her voice was ringing and sweet: "I have some girlfriends here, but no harm in your coming." She introduced me to her companions, and I managed to have a talk with her. She is a schoolteacher, and her colleagues too are young women, single or married, and what she said applies to them
all. They kept coming and going until I left the house, and through it all she was gracious, providing gaiety for everyone. Home life matters to the girl of today: she loves the cinema, watching sporting matches, and dancing; she loves, too, the smartly furnished flat, for she likes to give parties on occasions, and it opens the way to meeting more faces in society.
5 — Her social standing is respected. A century ago, the single girl past twenty-five was
