Having praised the organisation’s achievements, she was by no means complacent about the position of women in India or the issues which were still to be addressed. Yet she did not merely catalogue such ills but offered an interpretation of the underlying cause of these ills, and, in the light of this, an interpretation of the women’s movement.

Margaret Cousins lamented that women were judged by their sex and not on the same basis as men, discrimination which was pronounced to be present in all aspects of life. She declared:

There has been acquiescence everywhere in the idea that there shall be one standard for men, and another different standard for women. There is a double standard in morality, in wages, in education, in citizenship, in opportunities for work and service, in religion.

(Cousins 1936: 332)
