“One of the principal .

intentions of the founders of
the kibbutz was to create
equality between men and
women in work, in politics
and.in the family,” he says.

To make the dream ‘come
true, the kibbutz was
equipped with 24-hour
communal . nurseries and
child care arrangements, a

central dining! room. or
cafeteria and fa _ central
kitchen for e whole

community. The idea was
that if women were freed
from household chores,
women, and men too, could
choose the occupations most
congenial to them.

“The result of this oF
periment after 60 years jis
that we find an almost total
division of labour betwee

men and women. Men work
in industry and agriculture
and women predominate ‘in

education, cooking, laundry

and sewing.

“Moreover, informal but
quite real quotas have had to
be set on some committees
in order to secure women's
participation. It seems the
political side of kibbutz life

just doesn’t attract many
women.”
