Congo provides substitutes for socially inept wives by Susan Fuller Elizabethville is p e Cial owns a monogamous marriage is not taken very seriously in much of the Conga. One life one woman is not so attractive a slogan As one Man one vote a least not to the men and a rapid turnover of wives is com Mon. European housewives frequently find that As soon As they have got on smiling terms with their Houseboy s she has been replaced by another who pleases him better. Among primitive africans this causes few problems for the discarded wives arc usually looked after by their families but among the Evolur those who openly proclaim their adherence to one or other of the Christian churches a Sloppy attitude towards marriage is not considered respectable As a result Evolur men Are faced with problems of their own. Invariably they Progress further and More rapidly into the Western world than do their wives who have probably had almost no schooling and speak no French. Their wives Are furthermore terrified by the new world of knives Forks sanitation and chit Chat with europeans which so enchants their husbands and hate to leave the warm safety of their tribal background. If forced to mix in Multi racial society they sit in agonized silence respond to Des Perate european efforts to engage them in conversation with no More than a whispered oui or non and clearly count the minutes until they can go Home. Equality of sexes today is based on the Equality sexes and even in the Congo there Are few All male gatherings. To fill the Gap left by the stay at Home wives therefore a new Type of congolese woman is developing known As the Femme the Fem me Libra is in fact a prostitute with a difference and she is proud of the difference. Many become Femme Libres in fact because no other Way is open to them of avoiding what they consider the slav Ery of marriage in a society where the education of girls is of so Little concern that there Are still Only a handful in secondary schools and not one at the University. Be coming a Femme said one was the Only Way i could make a protest against the Way girls Are expected to live Here. I did t want to spend my life pounding Man the Femme Libre has be come so valuable an institution that her status is recognized even on invitation cards Send out to announce Forth coming functions. The Congo Lese do not bother to invite Monsieur s Madame instead at the Bottom left hand Cor Ner they insert the myster ious phrase Les Dames Serr ont Les Bien venues which loosely translated Means bring a prostitute if your wife in t for those who have no Femme Libre in town a sup ply is always made Avail Able and on the most formal occasions such As a presiden tial Ball the president and his most honoured guest Al ways open the proceedings by dancing with two Femme Libres chosen for them by the chef de protocol. Has no shame the Femme Libre is not at All ashamed of her profession. She proudly Speaks of it As having considerable educative and social import Ance. I am often invited out said one Femme Libra not because the Man wants to go to bed with me but be cause he wants someone who knows How to behave on an occasion when his wife would be a but the Femme Libre has had to teach herself How to behave. Like the wife she temporarily replaces her childhood was almost certainly passed in a one roomed hut on a diet of manioc but she has enough spirit to want to forget it by learning a better Way of life. She learns according to the Femme Libres themselves by watching her older colleagues like a Hawk. It is terribly important for us not to pm or Oll Toronto grandma Vas a lifeguard but she has decided to retire. Mrs Edward Martin who has .4. Grandchildren continues to swim a Quarter of a mile at East once a week although she has Given up her Job As life guard at the Mcgill Street Owca in downtown Toronto after 30 years. Flora Martin recalls that she decided to learn to swim after watching a Young Man drown. She got the Royal life saving society s second highest award in 1935 and has a Bunch of trophies for proficiency in life saving. She feels the age of three is the Best time to Start a child on swimming lessons but adds it s never too late. She cites the Case of an 80 year old woman pensioner who took Les sons after her doctor suggested she find a new activity and who now regularly swims the length of the y Pool. Barrass or shame the men who take us out. Their wives do that quite successfully said one. Femme Libres arc fiercely Loyal to each other and have their own unofficial Trade Union. In Elisabet Hville were there Are some 000, they Are looked after by a former Femme now in her late forties who sees that Rales arc adjusted according to the Cost of living Index and that no Femme Libre is Ever left in need. Few of them arc for the Femme Libre is extremely Well paid for her services which no matter How much the girls May stress he educative and social aspects of the work remain hat of the oldest profession in the world. The current Price for a girl s favors is about one third of an unskilled labourer s monthly salary and the girls admit they Don t have to work very hard. Few take More than one client a Day and they have no hesitation in pro claiming hat they would not willingly Exchange their role for hat of a Femme Mari indeed until congolese girls see there Are other ways to emancipation than that offered by prostitution the most adventurous and inde pendent minded will probably continue o think it a More satisfying Way of life than marriage.
