light. An English researcher spoke on this subject,

describing woman's struggle in that era. She said: Women would stage violent, clamorous demon-strations in the streets, demanding their rights; they would burn mail-boxes and smash shop windows; and when the government forbade them to demonstrate in the streets and to make speeches in “Hyde Park,” they took to the rivers instead of the streets and made pulpits of boats, and they invented means of publicity that would astonish the masters of publicity in our present age. Their opponents directed at them the worst kinds of criticism and mockery, and they met it with open hearts. When they demanded equality in civil employment — employment in the police departments, for example — some newspapers would print pictures of them in comical police uniforms, fleeing from the faces of thieves and lawbreakers, tripping over their skirts in sheer fright. And that did not stop them from pursuing their demands until they obtained them in full and were employed in the police depart-ments as in the other departments of government, where they showed a competence the newspapers noted with praise.

This success that woman has achieved in obtaining her demands shows us that people are not so stone-minded as we suppose, and that old ideas, however long their hold on men's minds, must in the end wither and yield their place to new ideas.

But while we await this desired development, it is incumbent on us to redouble the efforts that bring us nearer the goal; and to this end I propose the founding of a women's organization made up of college women and graduates of the secondary institutes — and their number among us is not small — an organization of a new kind, whose members are marked by the spirit of emancipation, of renewal, and of orderly work, and who believe in equality of rights and of treatment between the two sexes. The purpose of this organization would be work for woman only. Thus it would be safe from collision with the other charitable women's associations of manifold aims. This organization

would strive to carry out a program concerning woman, con-taining the following:

First — Amending the civil law concerning woman, including the laws of inheritance, guardianship, maintenance, marriage, divorce, and testimony, and what pertains to them. The amendment of this law is, in the view of thinkers, of greater importance than the win-ning of political rights — provided the latter not be neglected, but continue to be pursued.

Second — Making girls' schools equal to boys' schools in number, in the villages as in the cities, and establishing a number of vocational schools for girls.

Third — Abolishing the institu-tions that degrade woman, such as the houses of licensed prostitution, in which trafficking in women is permitted in a deplorable fashion,

and in which woman sinks to a level beneath the level of the beast.

Its program would also include positive work, such as founding a women's club in the capital in solidarity with the other women's associations, and organizing scien-tific discussions that seek to solve some of the women's problems relating to work, housing, and family relations.

Finally: present circumstances press upon the educated woman to hasten to band together, for her culture will avail her nothing if she does not dare to storm what her predecessors retreated from, or if she proves incapable of the organized collective work for which we see her better prepared than any other.
