ABSTRACT
Since that time so much has been done towards awaken-· ing public opiil.ion in the laws of representation, that if any further modifications. could take place during the politic~! dead-lock, we may he sure women would not be entirely overlooked.) ·
Another pamphlet is the reprint of a lecture by the town judge (Byfoged) Emil Jorgenson on the position of unmarried mothers and their children. The law in Denmark appears to be much harsher than ours; as the father there is in no way made responsible for the support .of the child, and Mr. Jorgenson makes several very sensible propositions for improvement in the law. It is satisfactory to see that theW omen's Union is bravely taking up all these questions on which the social position of women so largely depends. Many other societies of women also exist; one for the suppression of Government legislation on vice, another for the better ·pl·otection of animals, others are charitable and nursing associations. In this active sense of duty and public responsibility now stirring among Danish ladies, we may feel the surest confidence that the progress of further reforms will not long be delayed.
