The Progress Of Women
In the East
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox

lie was prosecuted by the koreish-
ties of the Temple of Mecca and forced
to fly to Medina. This was in 622 of
our era. And from the hour of his
flight Mohammed became the great
religious power of the Arabs. He lived
only ten years after that date, but
died leaving millions of converts to
his faith. During his death sickness
he wrote the Koran, which contains
all the laws for governing the social,
political and domestic life of the
Arabs.
Laws Which Now Seem Crude Did
Much Good at That Time
1t is customary for the Christian
critic to think of Mohammed as a
selfish and sensual man, making laws
which permitted him and his follow
ers fun license.
But in truth Mohammed gave a So
cial core which elevated the social
state of his people far above any
condition existing among them pre-
Viously.
Until he wrote the Koran there had
been no law which gave dignity or sa-
credness to the family life. Moham-
med saw the necessity of some kind
of protection for women and children.
and for some sort of ideals regarding
the responsibility of the man as a hus-
band and father.
1Iuue ana SelllSn us THESE laws seem
to us to-day. placed beside modern
social systems, where woman is a
prominent factor they were progress
sive at the time they were formed.
Protection of Women Meant Growth
of Character in Wild Arab
The Arabs were wild. untutored and
semisavage men. To give each man
four women to protect and care for.
and TO make each man realize that
any negligence toward these women
was a sin against the one and only
God, meant growth of character. For,
until then, the women had no rights,
and no protection from the mans
transitory impulses. She belonged TO
the strongest man for such time as he
chose to keep her in his tent That
was all.
Mohammed reasoned that with four
wives to provide for with their off
spring, men would be made indus
trious and provident, and knowing
the fierce passions of the Arabs, and
the ignorance of the women, he laid
much stress upon secluding the weak
er sex, and shielding the women from
temptations.
In the year 632, among the Arab
tribes. these laws were excellent laws
But to the modern mind they seem
absurd and one-sided.
