"Can women practice law in Russia? 2"
The question was asked of Miss Alice
serber, the woman lawyer, by writer
In Success. Miss Serber replied:

men of my native land would be hor-

for their living can become dressmakers

week; they can be school teachers at
a little more, None of the professions
is open to them, except medicine, and
for this they must have certain high
status in society, and must have large
means to defray the great expenses Of
the women's course at the university.
There is a considerable number Of
women doctors in Russia, but most Of
them studied and obtained their diplo-
mas in Switzerland, where the atti-
tude toward ambitious women is much
more liberal than in the domains Of
the czar. A woman servant in Russia
Is doing well to receive $40 a year for
her services. The wives and daughters
Of the peasants work harder than the
men. They bear nearly an equal share
in the labor of the fields and in ad-
dition have all their household duties
to attend to-"
