WOMEN IN CHINA

All women are not degraded in Chi
ma. Witness the Dowager Empress,
who rose, by the force of her own will,
from the position of slave to that
of ruler over the most populous ma
ton on the globe. Notwithstanding
the prejudice against the sex among
the Mongols women occasionally break
through the barriers and achieve dis
tinction.
In Shanghai, the metropolis of the
most coveted section of that vast en-
pire, is a temple erected in honor of
Huang, woman deified for her great
service to her people, and Chinese men
do not disdain to worship before her
image.
