NV Impressions of American Women

Independence and freedom OF
movement as compared with
her European sisters impresses itself
upon you. She Is not independent upon
male protection she needs no escort,
as she in every man, stranger OF not,
sees a protector.
In her way of dressing she knows
nothing OF the dread OF appearing con
spicuous. which is so common among
German women. In the streets CT the
larger cities, and especially in New
York (women promenade IN costumes
which would be permissible only in
The most fashionable pleasure resorts
here. but which in Berlin would at
tract unpleasant attention.
While IN European cities any good
looking woman below middle age
walking unescoTted in the street is
considered lawful prey by every
masher, and cannot even count upon
the protection OF the police, the Amer
lean woman is absolutely safe from
insults of this kind. Nobody stares
al her. nobody follows her; no stranger
dares approach her. Woe TO the one
who would make the attempt. Every
body would turn against him and mete
out swift justice on the SPOT, and this
would be followed by severe punish
