Editorial Distaff means women's work. For too long women's work has been used as a chliche to describe that work which is trivial and unim- portant. Distaff will redefine itself by serving women as o forum for their hopes, their frustrations, their creativity, their true selves. We will no longer accept our lives as jokes and cliches. Distaff is the reoliz.o- tion of women's initiative, insights and talents-- a media for women to be heard. Now is the time for all women to toke their place upon this planet in full partnership with all human beings. This preview issue is the collective effort of a large group of women. The staff box represents only one tenth of those who hov€ participated and contributed. We welcome all women who wont to work. Today is on exciting time to be o woman It is important to think you ore C" '"oman and hove the opportunity to mo .. ., this o better world for all men and women. We soy this because Ori"ly when the world is that place where all individuals ore quite capable of putting into this world more than they toke out, of being producers as well as consumers, will that be possible.
