Monitor Newsgathering in Washington

By Mary Hornaday

Half a century ago, Mary Baker Eddy wrote in "No and Yes" (p. 45): "In natural law and in religion the right of woman to fill the highest measure of enlightened understanding and the highest places in government, is inalienable, and these rights are ably vindicated by the noblest of both sexes."

With women of the United Nations now feeling the effect of this revolutionary declaration in enlarged opportunities to contribute to the thinking and direction of the world, I, as a woman writer for The Christian Science Monitor, am finding I have an increasingly broader field of news to cover.

As yet, I have not gone to the battle front as have several of our men correspondents, but I have visited thirty war plants from coast to coast, where women are rapidly taking over a good share of munitions-making, in eating a Thanksgiving dinner of corned beef and cabbage with the Army on maneuvers in South Carolina, and in helping the Army get the WAAC's off to an auspicious start at Fort Des Monies, Iowa.
