Notes
Increasing the value of Spore to women with agricultural occupations is one highly visible part of our editorial policy. Three years ago, only 7% of our subscribers were women, and measures were taken to increase that share, including extensive contacts with women s organisations through mailings and the recent UN Women s conference Beijing +5 . In the twelve months up to September 2000, almost one in five new subscriptions came from women (163 individuals and 145 women s organisations) so the number of women subscribers is growing faster than men. Good news indeed, but typical of the gender equity struggle, progress is slow. At this rate, it will take for ever and a day. Is it time for readers to take direct action, to share Spore more and to encourage more women to subscribe? Easier done than said perhaps, for a change Photo Bernard Favre/ Louma productions
