What Constitutes The
New Woman of Today

The following inquiry comes from State
Senator r. M. Cunningham, one of Ala
bama's most popular orators and promi-
nent politicians:
what / want to know is the dsfini-
fion of this New Woman what consti-
tutes the new woman and what are her
characteristics. 1 can find nothing in an
Gent, medieval or modern history that
defines her; neither in encyclop =dia, BIZ
ography or literature can 1 find class
ical definition; nor in science, actual
phiIoaoplhfc or inductva do l discover heir
genus"
The term "new," whether applied to
persons or materials, is entirely relative.
What is new to-day becomes old in the
near future. The new woman" is only
one With fresh, vigorous ideas, which sh-
desires to put into execution in the pnac-
teal affairs of everyday living. She has
been evolved from centuries of contin-
uous Improvement i'm the condition and
environment of her sex, and she stands
unfiinchingly upon the threshold of tre-
msndous potentiaMties.
THE new woman is described In
many instances from tlre great men of
the sanJa impulses, this same reaching
out for the best life can hold, that made
her ancestors intellectual giants in earlier
tfmes. This much-discussed species of
the human family lis only new because
the philosophy and civilization today
has made her possible. She is not a re-
cent revelation, only natural evolution.
Tt is the unfortunate fashion of pref
uddced persons to- call every woman
new who ds blatant, outre CIR offensive
Frequently a foolish female is desig-
mated new because she has donned a
costume with masculine tendencies, and
altog ether, the abused, maligned new
woman is tlle MOST traduced, least I'M
derstood creature in the universe.
All the great women of the past,
whsther of sacred or profane history,
we're new women in their day and gen.
GRAFTON because they had aspirations THAT
lifted them above the averages specimens
of their sex and readily accepted and
adopted the possibilities that came into
their lfvss.
Esther would no doubt have been call
ed "new'' by her enemies had the term
been in use in her day, as she had the
temerlty to Interfere with the govsrn-
ment Of her husbands Kingdom and I'M
duced Ahazuerus to hang Hannah and
spare Mordecai
Tha new woman is designation of
reproach with many conservative peo-
pie who are consJantly referring to the
women of The past as in direct contrast
to this form of fenminfnty, forgetting
THAT all along the centuries there stood
out grand, glorious "new' women, who
have become only old women because of
the natural changes in the worlds his
tory.
A nav woman, the highest and b: st
form of the species, is not necessarily
concerned about public or outside inter
esits. There can be nsw women in the
nursery, in THE kitchen and in THE salon.
They are only an up-to-date specimen
of femininity, performing the duti=s of
life bravely and cheerfully. She has
long since decided that conservatism and
mental inferior1ty are not synonymous
terms; thsy have also learned that true
femininitty does not signify a condition of
