Activity of Russian Women.

AS Russia was the first country
where women were given control over
their inherited property, and as Petro-
grad has had for some years the larg-
est medical college for women in Eu-
rope, 1t is not strange that women
have taken such an active part in the
military campaigns. In all the revolu-
tionary movements the women stu
