Description

"No longer is it true —as Euripedes said it was true in the 4th Century B.C. —that "a woman should be good for everything at home, but abroad, good for nothing." For the Peace Corps has already sent abroad several hundred women who are serving in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Of the Volunteers now overseas, one third are women. They are teachers, nurses, home economists, social workers, laboratory technicians, and rural development workers. The record they are writing, supported by requests from 30 countries for 2,000 more like them, proves that Euripedes under-estimated the power of a woman — especially a woman in the Peace Corps." -- [first interior page]
