ABSTRACT
The Spectator says :-" It would appear that. women have always had a legal right to obtain a diploma from the Royal College of Surgeons authorising them to practise in midwifery. The College has beeu advised that a clause in its charter was expressly drawn to admit women, the word' persons' being employed instead of 'men,' and according to the B"itisl, jfedical Journal, the council has decided on submission. This is a mere step towards the acknowledgment of a right, but it is a long one, as it places women among recognised medical practitioners, with whom surgeons must consult."
