Researcher Comments
Commentary: I want a pair of trousers. I want a nice big joint. I want a new chair. I want new soldiers. We want more everything. Alright alright, you want more goods. Well you really can’t have them until we produce more and we can’t produce all we want unless a lot of new women come back into industry. And they’re needed now. If you can manage to take up work you will be helping the country, making new friends and putting more money into your bag and you can make the goods you and other people want so badly. How easy??, not so fast, you wont get things as quickly as that, it will take time, its bound to be gradual. We have to export a lot of stuff to keep us going, but for the women who can speed things up and hasten the day when we can buy all the things we want.
