The League of Women Voters is now hard at work to make the national allegiance of women, as of men, a personal matter whether women are married or single.

The Federal Bill that is called for by this body would make it incumbent upon all women of foreign birth desiring to use the franchise in the United States to become naturalized, and would protect any woman on marrying from the loss of her own national allegiance, whatever her husband's might be.[7] Surely such a protection of individual citizenship is best for both men and women, whatever their marital state.

It is, however, a matter that often comes up for adjustment in international marriages.

It is matter of importance that women of foreign birth as well as men coming to this country from other lands should personally seek for full citizenship and not have it handed to them with a marriage certificate.

It is equally of importance that no person should lose allegiance to the country of his or her birth and affection simply by reason of marriage.
