Fifty nine years ago our people had declared themselves righful masters of their destiny, on their own land. To many Ukrainians the occasion is memorable, to our children born and educated in America it is a histo rical fact, an occurance in the distant times of their grandfathers, even great-grandfathers. Intense feelings mellow, details become obscured in the process of daily living from one generation to another. But we must ne ver, never, under penalty of losing our identity forget the magnificence of the occasion, nor ever lose track of the fact that what the Ukrainian people have managed in 1918, they can manage again. MOTRIA KUSHNIR WOMAN VIEWS & NEWS IN WOMAN'S WORLD On July 9, 1977, Alice Paul died in a nursing home in New Jersey. She was 92 years old; nevertheless, more than nine decades of existence did not suffice for her to realize her life’s dream: equal rights for women under the law Ms. Paul was a giant of the women’s movement from its inception, a fighter in the battle to gain the franchise for women both in Britain and U. S. She led the National Women's Party to the gates of the White House and throught the halls of Congress. She was villified by the press, arrested by the police and force-fed by prison authorities because society feared that granting women the vote would wreak havoc on the nation. Having won the vote, Alice Paul was well aware of the fact that the business of equal rights for women was far from completed. More than fifty years ago she authored the original language of the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution. The last few years of her life, confined to a wheel-chair in a nursing home, she worried that her place was in Washington, D. C., lobbying for the ratification of the Amendment. She never lost faith in the justice of her vision nor the strength of her convictions. When she died, thwarted by the contined political opposi tion to women’s full participation in society, she left us the legacy of her dream. Congress has extended the period of time to allow the passage of the Amendment. No form of tribute other than the ratification of the ERA will be a fitting testimo nial to her life. Alice Paul, 1885-1977, is dead; the issues to which she devoted herself are still very much alive. 22 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ, ЛИСТОПАД 1977 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
