All women in Great Britain between 18 and 45 have been registered and classified as a po- tential military and labor force. Single women are subject to draft if they are between 20 and 39 years old. So far, only 20-to-24- year-olds have been called. But there is not much necessity for a draft in a nation when half of the female population, capable of military or industrial service, is already on the job. In England, the women’s draft gives them most of the privileges. extended to men. They can ap- peal for deferment in hardship cases. Every appeal board there contains at least one woman.
