WOMAN'S INFLUENCE.
Why Recognition of Equality Comes
Slowly, Painfully, but Surely.

The fact that women are in a period
of transition, that they are just break
ing loose from the enslavcment within
the four walls of the home, explains
the many discomforts and hardships
which they are forced To endure.
Transition necessarily means pain
and sorrow. But now that women
have started on this journey of transit
ton there is no turning back.
Some who object to women in
mems colleges would shut the doors
to them. others point to the suffering
they endure in the industrial world
and advocate shutting them out OF
industry also. but this can not be
done. The only thing to do is to
throw open the doors the wider and
let them enter in
In France and Germany the many
departments of industry which are
carried on by women and which make
such a large part of the life of women
drudgery is due to the militarism of
the countries. If women knew what
militarism had done for them there
would be less admiration for brass
buttons and shoulder straps.
The period of transition from the
old idea Of women's position To the
modern one has been marked with
suffering. With the Italian awaken
ing, the beginning of the Renaissance
came the idea that marriage is some
what more than a physical and bio
logical union. The idea came that
marriage means the union of two
lives in all that concerns the human
spirit.
