Excerpt from The Young Woman Citizen The significance of this book is its insistence upon conscious preparation for citizenship as wide as the world itself. The writer does not dictate what the young woman citizen must do to build into the world democracy to which America is so surely committed; she has chosen rather to set up certain guide-posts for a working philosophy of citizenship. Although the book is addressed to young women it will appeal to all world citizens, for the fundamental conviction on which the book is built is that the new day in world politics will come only through the combined efforts of men and women who have faith in each other and who are willing to pay the costs of social awareness. It is hoped by the publishers that this book can give direction to the thinking of those who are to bear the heavy burdens of readjustment which face young people of to-day.
