THE PROGRESS OF
WOMEN'S RIGHTS
BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF woMAN,s
RIGHTS AS CONSIDERED DUR
ING PAST TWELVE CENTURIES
MANY BRILLIANT MEN AND
WOMEN CHAMPION CAUSE.

Beginning with the CeIts and the
Teutons we have demonstrations Of
mother godesses and these barbaric
people held their women In highest
reverence. The respect and admira-
ton which was customary with them
In regard to the women was due TO
the clan institutions. II IL conceded
that some Of the lowest In the clan
may have served in the capacity Of
slaves, but on the whole they were
held in highest reverence. In battle
the women accompanied their hus-
bands or brothers and some OF the
more favored were regarded as in
spired and counselied as prophetesses.
The women were Of equal physique
with the men and as far as labor and
fighting ability were on equal footing
Monogamy was prevalent.
The women held a high position
among the early Germans. They were
zealously protected and enjoyed great
freedom. In many instances the brides
were bought but not as slave. the
price was considered q reconapense
for the cost and trouble OF the parents
in bringing UP a daughter. This GUS
tom was not practiced in the print
tive period but after contact with the
Romans.
In Norway. Iceland and the more
northern countries the young girls
were entirely under guardians until
they gained their majority and we're
then given freedom In regard to the
choice OF their husbands. 1t In impos-
sible to enumerate the degree OF free
dom enjoyed BY the various classes of
people In that period. but In estimating
the successive processes OF advance
toward civilization the fact becomes
emphasized that women had more
freedom and rights under barbarian
than after having gained q fairly high
standard Of civilization. even though
that state was nominaIly christian.
In many parts OF the world tribal
society was succeeded by feudallsn.

military manners In vogue from the
eleventh to the sixteenth centuries.
Women during this time received
their education In converts, which was
their only opportunity and the course
consisted OF reading, writing, and do
