Baroness Aletta Korf tells In one
Of the magazines how the women Of
Finland came to vote. The fact ig
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative In the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when
crisis, such as that in 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
