Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from University of North Carolina Extension Leaflets: Studies in Citizenship for Women This series of simple outline studies in citizenship is the result of a request which came from the Civics Department of the North Carolina Federation of Women´s Clubs. The University responds gladly since it is seeking opportunities to quicken a vigorous interest in anything that pertains to civic duty and community uplift. Whatever may be ones attitude toward the enfranchisement of women, the indications are that it will be an accomplished fact within a very short while. Woman suffrage will make such a study imperative since a knowledge of the general principles, structure, and operation of our government is essential to intelligent and effective participation in political affairs. But whether a formal exercise of a voice in government is granted or not, this increasingly intelligent and interested half of our citizenship should know how to utilize and stimulate the governmental agencies which so vitally affect their lives. Recent experience has shown that women know no limit to unselfish service in the larger spheres of activity during a great national emergency. This service, too, has been characterized by surprising efficiency and unbiased devotion to duty. From the strategic position of the humble housewife saving in the wayside kitchen, all the way to the heroic efforts to maintain morale and salvage life at the battle-front, women have vindicated the claim that their desire to exercise the full rights and duties of citizenship is based on the wish to serve rather than to win selfish advantage. To help to conserve this resource of civic power and give it an effective peace-time objective in making our democracy a more perfect expression of our ideals is the hope which inspires this little publication. If it satisfies the desire to know our government, it will fail; if it stimulates a desire to understand how each citizen may help in achieving a more abundant life for all, it will be worth while.
