have true equality is to start with sons and daughters. Especially, an effort must be made with sons. I encourage mine to cry freely and I have no "boys' or girls”” toys in my house. Only toys. Daughters can be encouraged to be athletic (which is healthy) and play with trucks, blocks, etc. as well as dolls. If confined to Barbie dolls, it's hard to encourage a girl to look toward a trade or technical career.

If you are not a parent, yoù must have some contact with children. Nearly everyone knows some young person who is waiting to be influenced. Talk to them about stereotypes, and ask about their feelings towards those of other races and sexes. If you are a concerned citizen, non-sexist school and city programs can use your support. Be active in civic affairs. If you are an educator, you have a very impor-

Dear Wimmin,

-P. Bauerlein Warthling

I have read your newspaper, What She Wants, for the past three years, and personally find it to be an invaluable source of information and insight into my own concerns as a womin. I look forward to many more years of reading What She Wants.

myself and the situation in which I found myself at

the time.

I haven't seen any similar articles on this subject in What She Wants since then, and I feel that, due to the statistically high incidence of incest directed against wimmin in our society, more such articles could be of great benefit to a large number of wimmin, as well as myself.

Has What She Wants considered any further

coverage of this subject in the approaching future? As I know from my own personal experience, wimmin who have had any such dealings with incest can use just about all the support and truthful information they can get on this subject. I hope that you will consider more articles of this kind, covering completely and specifically the social problems involved, and some possible answers to these problems. Allow me to repeat again, your original article was very helpful to me.

Thank you!

WSW replies:

Thank you for the feedback. Because of your letter, WSW is planning to include an article about incest and the counselling program at the Free Clinic in the next (April) issue.

Dear What She Wants readers:

Please submit your anecdotes to me by March 31. Call me at 932-8003 (5-10 p.m.) or write me at 3333 E. Scarborough Road, Cleveland Heights, OH 44118.
