It is hard to believe that 50 years ago there was only one school for girls in Egypt. The pupils were a few daughters from rich families. They had to wear veils, in school. Today, the Egyptian woman has a right to vote in elections. Women are repre- sented in Parliament 'and even in the government. They hold high state posts in education and social offices. They dress in a mod- ern style as in the U.S. and Europe. Only women in vil- lages still wear traditional dresses. The struggle for equal rights for the Egyptian woman was a long one. About 50 years ago it was nearly a tragedy in an Egyptian family if a daughter instead of a son was born. Girls were not allowed to study with boys in school. Married women were not allowed to walk in the street next to their husbands, but had to walk several steps behind them. A few women organized to fight for equal rights. They held .demonstrations in Egyptian cities. The main fighter was Mrs. Hada Hanem Sharawi. She lost her father at age 5. In the home of her mother she felt like a stranger. Her mother cared only for her younger brother and she suffered very much from this. She demanded her mother send her to school and also took private lessons in French and Turkish. She started to write poetry in Arabic and French about the suppres- sion of the Egyptian woman. When she was 13, Hada married her old rich cousin Ali Pasha Sharawi. She continued her struggle for a law to forbid young children to marry. In the time of the Egyptian War of Indepen- dence in 1919, Mrs. Sharawi organized demonstrations of women for their rights. In 1932, she created a women's movement, whose aim it was to fight for equal rights for women in all fields, especially in marriage and divorce. She sent a delega- tion to a women's confer- ence in Europe, whose members appeared without veils. Mrs. Sharawi was called "mother of the Egyptian women." She fought for allowing girls to study in high schools and colleges. She even helped older women to go to school in cities and villages. Even today men in Egypt have the right to marry four wives and the married woman is always in fear that her husband might expel her from her home in order to live with other women. The woman Minister for Social Problems in Egypt, Dr. Amal Atman, is fighting now for chang- ing the law of marriage and divorce. About 23 years ago the Egyptian Parliament adopted a law to grant the right for women to vote. Today, women are holding some high official posts. Many of them have finished their studies in univer- sities. A total of 55 per- cent of them are working as teachers. There are women doctors and lawyers and experts in chemistry, physics and sociology. The woman minister has prepared some proposals for the working woman. The present law does not grant any rights to working women who become mothers. Women workers have the right to leave their jobs at the age of 60. They are entitled to a pension. A widow has also the right to get a pension. Egyptian women praise the contribution of the wife of the President, Jehan Sadat, to the struggle for equal rights for the Egyp- tian woman. Mrs. Sadat is very active in this struggle. Owing to this, Egypt is the most advanced country in the Arab world in granting rights to women. Only in Lebanon women have suc- ceeded in obtaining certain rights, whereas in other Arab countries there is still strong discrimination against women.

Reform Jewish Appeal Event Nets a Total of $100,000 Opinions Differ on Weber Case NEW YORK — The Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith has cautioned that the recent U.S. Sup- reme Court decision uphold- ing a race-conscious job training program in Weber vs. Kaiser Aluminum case "does not sanction" the un- restricted use of racial quotas in employment. A statement by Justin J. Finger, ADL's national civil rights director, emphasized that the Supreme Court in fact "took pains to limit the thrust of its decision . . . solely to affirmative action plans designed to eliminate `conspicuous racial imbal- ance' in job categories that were 'traditionally segre- gated.' " However, Finger said, "the decision leaves us un- easy since the potential for abuse by employers who may incorrectly read the Weber decision as sanction- ing unrestricted racial quotas in employment is ever present." The president of the Na- tional Conference of Chris- tians and Jews hailed the Supreme Court's decision. Dr. David Hyatt said that the majority opinion now appears to be the "panacea" for affirmative action pro- grams by skeptical em- ployers. He said that "con- scientious efforts to estab- lish such programs for minorities and women can now be easily pursued." About $100,000 was raised for the Reform Jewish Appeal to aid the causes of the Reform movement at a dinner honoring Alvin Wasserman under sponsor- ship of the Metropolitan Detroit Federation of Reform Synagogues. Pictured at the event are, from left: Mr. and Mrs. Paul Dizik, chairmen; the honoree, Wasser- man and Mrs. Wasserman; Mrs. Marshall Miller, na- tional board member of the Union of American He- brew Congregations; the guest speaker, Rabbi Daniel B. Syme, director of teh UAHC's Commission on Edu- cation; and Bernard E. Linden, National vice chair- man of the UAHC. Bnai Brith Appoints Author WASHINGTON — Jewish author M.
