Women Barred to Stamp Clubs
|
According to
report, we still have a few
quaint and archaic stamp clubs from which women are barred as
members.
This is an odd situation in view of the fact that the biggest and most
successful philatelic organizations and local clubs welcome their
membership.
Women are an important element in stamp collecting. Look
around at
the stamp exhibitions and note the high calibre of collections
displayed
by the ladies. They're keen students and they've got THE
stamps,
and how! Our New York Collectors Club has numerous women on
the roster
and the day is not distant when I am sure we will have a woman on the
Board
of Governors. We're certainly glad to have them in New York,
and
glad, too, that so many of them collect stamps.
