Miss Layla Baalbaki records the proceedings of the forum

At "The Woman's Voice forum" for this month, a circle of our ladies gathered — ladies who have blossoming young flowers of their own — and they discussed the subject with understanding, gentleness, and sincerity. They are: Olga Shammas — Sabiha Fares — Hanana Daouk — Claire Adam — Edvick Shayboub.

The problem:

Your daughter has reached fourteen and has begun to rebel against your pattern of upbringing, calling you "strict" and "reactionary." In imitation of her companions, she demands prettier frocks, nylon stockings, heeled shoes, and so on... How, then, do you meet the revolt of her young years? Do you bow to her judgment and grant her demands, or do you refuse her and crush her high spirits?
