But if 'women , ant more
input .in future ideas and-,
tomorrow's culture they
'must start acting no*. .
•. Dr. Porothy Smith, a
PrOfeSSor of sociology from
the linlversity of Toronto,
addressed a group,of over 2
. woinen with this thought at a
• recent tneeting in Clinton.
. Women from ,,tt variety of
interests and ' livelihoods,
from their early 20's to senior
yeari.came out to hear Dr.
Smith speak to the Huron
County Women Today group
on October 23.
Dr. Smith explained that
women have had little say in
, some , a as-rfaillifitradh"-
or our culture has been male
dominated. '
The unintentional silenc-
ing began over 500 years ago
when men joined togethefin
exchange ideas, thoughts
and to write books. At that
time, the circle of scholars
and intel lectuals were like a
social group and NVerifen
were not purposely rejected.
"The social process
worked and women were just
not there to take part," Dr.
Smith explained.
Since that finte, men have
held dominant positions in all
parts of society, in politics,
. ,
art, literature, religion and
indastrY'
"The work, of wolooll,In
thP-1bme ha5.heen invislhle
• Work," ,Dr, Smith. stressed,
• "even wo (Women) •couldn't
see it as a work process."
But She noted that in the
last century there have' been
rumblings in SoCiety and
wotnen, have begun realizing
that hoUsewOrIc takes time,
effort andskill and is an
important and necessary part
of our culture. • -
"It's the .general view of
society from which women
have largely been omitted,"
she noted, explaining that in
the past work has gone on to
keep women in their place.
• However, Dr. Smith
referred to the
- 'underground Liver of
' women," a Continually sur-
facIng group of intellects and
talented women •who have
taken important places in
society.
Despite few opportunity to
expand their talents in the
male dominated world, many
have been able to overcome
the barriers and obstacles
and women like the Bronte
sisters and Emily Dickinson,
for instance, produced
classic literature and poetry
in the 1800's.
EXTRAORDINARY SKILL
"Women have produced
work of extraordinary skill,"

institutionalized in an insane

opinions different than her
husband's. Husbands had
this right; •Dr. Smith
explained, but Mrs. Packard
was able to win her release
in the widely publicized case.
Women have also been
systematically excluded from
religion and politics in the
past and Dr. Smith said that
in Canadian and American
medical schools, a seven per
cent limitation Was set for the
number of women studying
in the schools.
Some progress has been
made since then, encouraged
Dr. Smith and she added,

LITTLE AUTHORITY
Dr. Smith stressed that
she wasn't implying that the
elementary teachers didn't
have an hnportant place but
stated, "Women are not
located in positions where
they have a say or any
authority."
"Men have an authority in
the world of culture and
thought." she went on to
say, • explaining that the
position of authority not only
comes on an individual basis •
but men are chosen for these
positions because of their
sex.
•
"Their authority is like an
organizallon," Dr. Smith
noted. "They don't appear
as themselves alone. Their
words count for one
another."

shown that ,, men' may

"What Dorothy meant was .•
',gilt -the future doesn't
hive to be this way. Already
women are widening their
bounds and opportunities for
better professional - and
personal lives are increasing.
"But you have to begin
with oneself," Dr. Smith told
the group, "So your children
may growup a little different.
You have to talk together and
try to do things differently.,"
Speaking from her own
experiences Dr. Smith said,
"I used to be a quivering.
piece of jelly 10 years ago.
You may now say she speaks
with such authority, but this
didn't come naturally. I had
to work on it"
TAKE YOURSELF

seriously first," she stressed
and said that women
interested in change and
improvements need good
assertiveness training and
networks, like the Women
Today group.
