the woman has been the one isolated
fact in the universe; the outlook upon
the world, the means of education, the
opportunities for advancement had all

came with the awakening OF the COM

during the last century has become
worldwide, embracing all nationalities
and resulting in the organization of
women all over the world. The ques-
ton Of where we stand, she said, and.
what shall be the outcome, the expla-

lives: automatic weaving and the sew
ing machine. Women had to find
something for their leisure hours.
