ABSTRACT

In a book which excited some attention ten years ago, " English Matrons and their Profession," the writer, L. F. M., drew a striking picture of the injuries which any extension of the governing power is apt to inflict 485on any class or classes which still remain excluded from such power. In the case of women, she points out that their position, so long as they are unrepresented, iS actually worse of late years, not only relatively but actually, than when the representative body was restricted amongst men.
