4 Champion OF Women.

The raison d'etre Of woman's alteration

vague notions abroad that IL is his hav-

TO me il seems fitting that woman
should sit at the feet OF Ibscn. because
! believe that no writer Of any century
has said so much 10 her that is 50 vital
and stimulating. that never falls into
sentimentality or false praise. but al

find IN the commonly styled somhre pes

Just as through the writings OF KOuS-

that eliminated in the Revolution. and
in the writings Of the young Goethe the
unrest that produced the period OF
"Sturm ind Drang,' so In the dramas OF
Ibsen are voiced the awakening and I'M

Movement. but are only a part Of the
larger movement Of the close OF the nine

In having SO much 10 say as he does on
the unrest Of woman to-day, Ibsen Is
not holding up TO us an Isolated phase OF
society; he Is not interested In woman as
a sex merely. but ~ a part OF humanity,
for he cannot believe hat humanity car
be emancipated unless all It's component
parts are freed.-Annie Nathan Meyer, IN
