Politicians
encourage
women's
activism
Maxine Morrison and Lorraine Orr, two Nebraska
politicians, told the Nebraska Women's Political Caucus
Saturday that 1972 is the year for women's involvement in
politics.
Morrison, chairperson of the Nebraska McGovern campaign
said, 'The idea is catching on that women ought to play an
integral part in governing our society."
And Orr, regional coordinator of the President's re-election
campaign, added "It's getting much easier for women to
become politically involved."
Morrison, former1 Nebraska first lady, told the caucus
audience "To be successful you have to make one thing
perfectly clear to the American people: women are not sexual
bigots. We can stand the heat, and we're getting out of the
kitchen.
"This isn't a battle cry for revenge, It's a rallying cry for
justice," she said. She cited several political and professional
situations in which there is discrimination against women.
However, Morrison said, she is against a woman being
appointed to a political position simply because of her sex.
Women need to unite, Morrison said. "There are more
women registered to vote than men, she added. "We have a
great force in our hands if we just forget the pettiness and start
working together."
Orr, former state Hepublican party chairperson said "I
don't want men to think I'm brash and bold, but at the same
time, I want them to respect me for my brains."
She said the most important thing a woman can do is to get
involved in politics. She urged women to start working at local
levels and to consider running for office.
'There's still a great prejudice in Nebraska against women,
she said. "People often feel that you don't know what the
issues are. If you do become informed, they come to respect
your knowledge.
"Being a woman, you're going to have to work twice as
hard as anybody else to prove you're capable," she said.
"You've also got to forget you're a woman and be able to look
at an issue from an impartial viewpoint.
