II have often been asked, What about
the woman question: and how the WON

to this rising tide in favor Of equal
rights. 1t has frequently been noted by
publicists that southern women, as a
rule, are not prominent in these so-called
progressive movements looking to the
thorough emancipation of their sex. From
my own observations, l can say that
Virginia women have as yet made no con-
certed or serious effort toward securing
equal rights. But l can only speak of
my personal sentiments in the case, and
