Super-Suffrage
Chairman of the Inter-American Commission of Women, to Study the Civil and Political Status of Women in the American Republics--no less--was what the governors of the Pan-American Union last week appointed Doris Stevens to be. Miss Stevens, a moving spirit within the National Woman's Party, attended the Pan-American Congress last January in Havana to present an Equal Rights Treaty. This was the result, gratifying to herself and colleagues. Said she: "A step of great significance . . . challenge to law makers the world over." She outlined the scope of a new super-suffrage for women of the Western Hemisphere, from Hudson Bay to Tierra del Fuego.
In private life, Doris Stevens, slim, comely, energetic, is the wife of that famed courtroom dandy, Divorce Lawyer Dudley Field Malone.
