The Preston Guardian Saturday June 17 1893 Equality In Sex At The Post Office An important departure is about to be made, it is said, in connection with the employment of women clerks at the Post Office. Hitherto the women candidates for positions in the Postal Department have been examined under a different scheme from that arranged for the men. Now, however, says the London correspondent of the "Manchester Guardian," it has been resolved that examinations of both men and women shall in future consist of the same subjects. This will no doubt be interpreted as the first step towards equalising the pay of the sexes. Women clerks have long asked that for the same work, performed under the same conditions, they should receive the same pay as their masculine colleagues. |

When I worked as a Staff Nurse in a hospital in Burnley, I found that there were very few male nurses compared to females, but they moved up the ranks far quicker than the us girls! Dont think we will ever achieve full equality, certainly not in my lifetime. Stephanie. |
