SINGLE WOMEN BECOME BATTLE AXES.

Its nearly fifty years since this was written and boy has a heap changed. Its is some old bastarrd whinging about the percieved downsides of employing women as trade commissioners.

We particularly like his belief that women trade commissioners would be okay if there was trade in "clothing and accessories."

We especially like the assumption that single women "spinsters" turn into "battleaxes" while men mellow with age.
