Progress OF Women

We believe that women today busily engaged in their
jobs and professions the rearing OF their families
in management Of their properties either earned by
themselves left them by their fathers husbands are
Of the debt they to other leaders and men OF
visions in the yesteryear
Not always could woman manage her own proper

has she had full legal right the control of her child
There time in the history of the country when hs
bands could give guardianship of unborn children not to his
wife, but to total stranger; time when it perfectly
legal for to chastise his wife with whip larger
than her wedding ring and to restrain her liberty the
theory that he her conscience and answere for her
wrong doing.
Modern American women enjoying more rights and
privileges than any other the world laugh at such
notions
But we do not always remember that women who have
been fighting for womens rights through the and
of the who have stood shoulder to shoulder with
them should be given full of credit for the pro-
gress we have enjoyed.
Usually when woman is spoken of being a
feminist it in tone of distaste by both and men
But 1t is those early femnsts and the ideals to which
they subscribed that enjoy rights today.
We think that this week of October dedicated
to the annual observance Of National Business Women's
Week would be fitting time to give credit to those early
feminsts of whom instrumental in founding the
