BLUE STAR CAMPS KMOUSONVllE. MOTHCAMUM vmrnmmcsSi mtt HWCtCaNTMLIU,

By HELEN COHEN Although I listen with an open mind to arguments put forth by various leaders in the Women’s Lib Move ment, I have yet to officially join their ranks, nor do I see e y e -1 o -eye with them on some of their Helen views about the opposite sex. Indeed, a number of the activists are much too hostile toward men for my money. Many times in this corner, approaching the subject from the Jewish point of view, I have commended Judaism’s traditional approach to women. A SINGLE GIRL, even a divorced or widowed older woman, was able to count on family and friends to work diligently at finding her a husband, even with the help of a shadehan — not like today, when we females must fend for ourselves, and if we’re unsuccessful in our husband hunt, well, too bad, something must be wrong with you, sister. Or I have pointed out that in the past, Jewish women, once married, could usually expect their marriage to remain intact, even though wedded bliss may sometimes have been less than blissful. Divorce was seldom resorted to by the men, a rarity in fact, though it was their prerogative. (However, under duress, husbands were known to threaten now and then to take just such action.)
