FULL TEXT: Nice. April 8. – Convinced that woman’s place is fighting man. Some bellicose women have founded an anti-man society, the League of Woman Victims of Men [translation, perhaps, of “Societé des Victimes Féminines des Hommes”], which is gaining recruits along the Riviera to carry on the struggle.
The leaders are convinced that half the members of their sex have grievances against some man. The first meeting of the league was held here recently to discuss the scope of the organization’s activities.
First qualifications for membership is that the candidate prove she has suffered from “some perfidious male.” It is understood members so far are mostly jilted fiancees, secretaries and typists who have lost their jobs because of their employers’ favoritism, and women whose business affairs have been mismanaged by a man.
