from Barbag Wilson This was the heading of an article in the Observer of 10/12/67, which was concerned not with _-women in some Middle East sheikdom but with the women of Britain. The article was based upon some preliminary information from a Government-sponsored report to be published early next year. More than half Britain's eight million working women earn less than five shillings an hour, and only about 4 per cent. can expect to earn as much as 10 shillings an hour. The report is said to show that women are treated "like coloured labour at the height of the Empire," and should provide ° useful statistics for all those who are fighting to end women's status as second-calss citizens.
