When the Roman empire estab-
lished a single standard for men and
women who transgressed the laws as
TO adultery, woman's rights were al
ready on the upward trend. Indeed
the cause OF woman advanced farther
under the Pagan empire than II did
for man a long century after Rome
became Christian.
Thenceforward till modern times
there was little advance in the con
dition of woman. The early Christian
fathers, influenced rather by the teach
Jesus, put restrictions upon woman
that barred them from economic and
political equality with men.
These restrictions, formulated later
in the canon law, have been a most
potent influence adverse 10 the adj
vance OF woman. Thus women today
wear their hats In church and stay
at home on election day largely for
me same reason-beeaHse Saint Paul
was a bachelor who had no faith in
woman and thought her "the weaker
