Abstract

Fictional short story, which features the two main characters (Joan O'Rourke and Mrs. Carr) attending a debate at the Advanced Women's Club. Both speakers and audience consisted of women. Inquiring as to the motifs for forming such a club, "Mrs. Carr opined that it was to give women a chance of airing grievances that had hitherto been relegated to the bedroom and nursery [...]." Also the reactions of the audience are mentioned, which received the opening speech with "vigorous applause". [pp. 31]
