Description
This news clipping from 1960 concerns Caernarvon Town Council's heated debate on whether married women should be employed at the Borough Council. Councillor Idris Roberts argued that married women's husbands earn good money and therefore married women should not be employed as they would be taking work from the unemployed youth of the town. As only one unemployed person applied for the position, and they were a married woman, Councillor Roberts' objections did not stand. It was the first time the Council had appointed a married women to a post.
