Women in Bulgaria.

The position of bulgarian women
contrasts favorably with that of their
sisters in many other European coun-
tries. but it has been due to the quiet.
steady work which has been going on
among them. Boys and girls have
now the same education and girls are
admitted to all branches OF study at
the university as we'll as to the schools
which train pupils for the professions.
The number of girls entering pro-
fessional life increases every year.
Some have graduated in law. though
they are not allowed to practice, and
urgent representations are being made
to parliament to allow them to be
recognized as lawyers, magistrates and
councillors of the assize court.
Women may become members of the
learned professions and may take q
part in educational councils, while
those who have reached the age pre-
scribed by the law may be elected to
the councils of the communal schools,
though no woman may vote for them.
Though the laws deal hardly with
women in some respects they are very
fair in others. Marriage is an &C.
says lllC NSueGlli
and is looked upon more as a sacra-
ment than as a civil contract, and this
idea improves women's position COM
siderably, for the law makes very lit
tie difference between the single and
the married woman.
The latter can take up any work she
likes without the consent of her hus-
band, her property is her own, she can
plead ON her own account in the courts
and against her husband if she con-
siders she has n grievance. She car
bequeath her possessions to whom she
pleases, with the exception of those
that come to her on her marriage, and
the disposal of these is regulated by
laws.
Her husband is obliged to support
her according to his means. but has
no right whatever over her personal
property. Divorce is administered by
the church and is equal for both sexes.
father is the legal guardian of the
children but at his death the right de-
wolves upon the mother. Parents
nave control over THEN children till the
latter have reached the age of eighteen
years.
A married woman is at a disad-
vantage with regard to commerce., for
she may not trade without the consent
OF her husband, and if he is absent or
divorced she has TO obtain the permits
SION OF the courts. She may not en-
ter into a contract, start society or
enter one where responsibilities are
incurred without the permission of her
husband or the courts. A woman is
also placed in an inferior position by
the laws dealing with iIlegitimacy, for
the man can escape all responsibility.
In writing on the women's nova
Heht IN Bulgaria, it is impossible to
omit mention of the agitation for the
Parliamentary vote, which is increas-
ing In strength and has made great
strides during the last year. The first
