the suffragettes plan a giant London rally for March. 1968, the anniversary of votes for women. In Alabama, Mrs. Wallace became the third woman state governor when she was inaugurated in January. In April she made a rousing speech to the state legislature opposing a federal court order to desegregate the public school system.

There was some thought at first that Mrs. Wallace was showing signs of independence but as the year wore on it became evident site was merely a technical substitute for her husband who by law could not succeed himself as governor. More in the tough tradition of the suffragettes was' Greece's strong-willed newspaper publisher, Helen Viachos. who shut down her two influential Athens dailies day military junta took over last Aprii 21 and has refused to publish under censorship ever since. Mrs.

Viachos. 55, who says she will restart publication oniy when democracy and press freedom come back to Greece, has been under house arrest since mid-October. The date of her trial has yet to be fixed, i Mrs. Viachos has now-escaped to England. The prestige of the army regime has been hard hit by her s.and.

Ironically, I once-militant left-wing dailies agreed to publish under censorship. In terms of history perhaps the year's most significant woman was Svetlana Stalin, daughter of Russia's iron dictator. Her dramatic Bight to the Unite! States, a decision which meant leaving her children behind, and her outspoken criticisms of the way in which Stalinism still lies heavy over Soviet life, expressed remarkable courage arid-strength of character.

Yet the book, which perhaps suffered from overexposure before publication in Britain and North America, failed to resolve central mystery of StaEa the' man" a mixture of loving father and cruel- despoi. Some critics felt she ended by "protecting her father more than analysing him Two formidable young, women brought a female eye to war and went right into the front line to do it.

Formidable in a differeni way was Sheila Chichester, wife of Britain's round-tbe-world lone sailor. Not. only did she provide much of the backroom drive behind Gypsy Moth's odyssey. but she also caused a small fashion revolution with the red trousers suit wore on all occasions-even at the historic ceremony when Sir Francis was knighted by the Queen. Women politicians continued to make news.

Indira Gandhi confounded the prophets by-surviving a crisis-ridden year as India's prime minister. Former i 1 siar Shirley-Temple Black turned right-wing Republican in California but" was soundly defeated in her bid to run for Congress.
