About
ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two
hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be
driven by a woman!
There
are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to
see deep red. He may think that
red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the
difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see
everything in shades of green - a strange world indeed.
Color
blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of
very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light
and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but
these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.
Some
insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but
a blue lamp will. In a similar way
human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we
can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see
shapes at night. One day we may
even learn more about the invisible colors around us.

During
the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying at the end of the
nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would
be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they
were five years old. By the time
the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and
would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health
made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer
children. Usually a woman's
youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to
live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.
This
important change in women's life has only recently begun to have its full
effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left
school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually
left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen,
many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more
married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is
born. Very many more afterwards
return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new
relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the
duties and satisfactions of family life.
