by the questions: Whai is the relation of
half the race to the other half? to the
whole? What is its part in the develop

world? AS no question can be more funda-

that none has received more answers nor
more contradictory ones. Hence it was
that ngress in which women should
meet to present their position and work in

women might read their own interpreta-

their rights, responsibilities, duties and
destiny, seemed an indispensable feature
