In the first appearance of “The Woman’s Review,” a monthly department inaugurated in the “B’nai B’rith Magazine,” under the editorship of Estelle M. Sternberger, in its December issue, attention is called to the contest that has been conducted by the Ladies’ Home Journal to determine the twelve women who have made the greatest contribution to the United States in the past one-hundred years. Mrs. Sternberger calls attention to the fact that not a Jewish woman is listed among the twelve proposed by the National Council of Women of the United States. She therefore asks the Jewish women of America the following question: Are there any women hailing from the tents of American Israel in the period of these last hundred years who are greater than some of these twelve and so deserve to be enrolled among them?
The women of the country have been invited to submit their nominations to Mrs. Sternberger.
