ABSTRACT
The acceptance of M. Naquet's Divorce Bill by the French Senate, and its subsequent confirmation by the French Chamber, is a proof how greatly public opinion has advanced with regard to women during the present generation. It establishes a much greater degree of equality between husband and wife than the English Divorce Law of 1857. Some of the modifications proposed by the Senate, and accepted by the Chamber are great improvements upon the original Bill; others tend to restrict the action of the Bill, but not on the whole, as we should think in England, injuriously so.
