Statesmen Of the Great Empire Miuht
Be Supreme Over All Mankind, but
They Were Poweriess to
Control Women.

The modern woman" with her new
found interest In politics and law
making is not as purely twentieth
century product as most of us imagine.
Coldly historical records prove that
over 1000 years ago the gentIewomen
OF ancient Rome welded considerable
political influence. To repeat verbatim
the words Of Cato, the reform candi-
date OF the times: "We rule all man.
Kind and we are ruled by our wives"
And while the fair citizens would
not register protesting vote against
undesirable legislation, they could and
did use other methods.
Take. for example. in 215 B. c.,
when a bill regulating women's dress
was brought up before the Roman SEN
ate Government control was no new
idea In the third century r. c., and
the Roman senators were brave and
sapient graybeards. Had they not
steered the nation safely through the
perils OF the war with Carthage and
settled the terms of the peace treaty
with minimum amount of dissen-
sion? Surely. with a wave Of their
collective legislative hand they could
settle once for all the trivial question
or how much money woman should
spend for clothes. SO the law was
passed--the Lex Oppia.
Unfortunately. however. the maids
and matrons of the republic couIdnt
see IT. They definitely objected to It
AS there was no equal suffrage al

tack the measure by the power Of the
ballot but law. to be at all effective
