National Association of Women Pharmacists (NAWP)
Is the NAWP needed?
From Mr J. L. Honigman, MRPharmS
I am somewhat at a loss to understand the reasoning behind the letter protesting about the lack of women pharmacists on the Royal Pharmaceutical
Society’s Council (PJ, 30 April, p516). One might assume that this
is due to the fact that women are happy to vote for men in this situation
or, possibly, that women do not bother with such trivialities as voting.
I am wondering, too, whether a sexist organisation, such as the National
Association of Women’s Pharmacists is not now an anachronism. After
all, what with maternity leave, job sharing and locum hours which can be
fitted to domestic, or any other commitments (including political), the
conditions for professional women, particularly pharmacists, are far better
than the founders of this body could have ever envisaged.
Surely there is no suggestion here that women are more “professional” in
their outlook than their brothers!
