The Saturday Review, speaking Of Mr.
Bright's ssWomen's Disabilities Bill," says: "It
Is nonsense to ring the changes on Florence
Nightingale and Harriet Martlneau, when
what is meant is women in the consulting
room and dissecting-room, women in Parlia-
ment, women in the pulpit, women at the bar,
women on the jury, women free, not only to
contract, but to dissolve the marriage tie as
they please. And 1t is not so much nonsense,
as something worse than nonsense, to say that
because we do not permit women to go to the
polling booth, therefore, in England, we only
class them with felons, idiots, lunaiics, out
laws aud minors. Mr.. Jacob Bright has often
avowed that he wants to assimilate our socia-
state to that happy land, the home Of free love
and the sorosis; but to assist this blessed state
OF things. it Is simply dishonest for any one to
say that English women are now no better OFF
than she-Turks."
