WOMAN'S RIGHTS CAUSE
ADVANCING IN RUSSIA

ST. PETERSBURG, june THE
Women's Legal Rights bill has passed
through the duma and Will go
through the Council of Empire at this
session. Under IL married women
will be able to get. passports without
their husbands consent and also en-
gage in teaching or any other work
under the government. They Will
likewise have the right TO obtain
credit or their own account.
One clause of the bill allows mar
ried couples living apart to have their
financial affairs settled before a civil
court and not by the Holy Synod as
hitherto Custody of children will also
depend on lay tribunals in future.
Little by little the position OF mar
ried women in Russia is improving.
In Poland. where Napoleon's Civil
code still holds, women have no con-
troll at all over their own fortunes
even now.
