In order to evaluate the validity of the Spence-Helmreich Attitudes Towards Women Scale, 13 women members of the National Organization of Women (NOW) were administered the scale, which purports to measure attitudes towards the rights and roles of women in contemporary society. In comparison with normative data for female college students and mothers of college students reported by Spence and Helmreich, the attitudes of the NOW members were significantly more feministic, suggesting that the scale is a valid measure of such attitudes.
