THE NEW WOMAN,
AN OLD OLIOHE.
[By SHRILA KAYE-SMITH (Author of “Green Apple Harvest? "Joanne Godden,” etc.]
That phrase.. "The New Woman," is the
very oldest cliche the original epigram. I cannot conceive it as of any later date than Adam's exclamation, at the sight of Eve, when all things were new, including himself. Now Adam is never anything but the Old Adam, where Eve is still New. As a matter of fact, I sometimes think that she is just as old As Adam, but, woman-like, she has mas tered the problem of old age, and con trives to keep_Toung as" n subject of controversy. She was a topic in ancient Babylon, in, ancient Rome, in the times of the Renaissance, in the times of Decadence and Oscar Wilde (when people first discovered that the term new woman" was old), and now id 1991 she is still the centre of discussion, and still apparently as new as ever.
No doubt a terrible lot of nonsenso is being talked about her, now as always. One particularly popular form of non- mense is to look upon her us & revolution. People talk as if the modern woman be-t longed to an entirely new order of things; they point back to the Victorian woman, with her crinoline and her Tennyson, and offer her as the type, par excellence, of womankind-her admirers even go so far as to call her a womanly woman. The fact is that it was the Victorisa woman who was the revolution and the breakaway,“ „She was ʼn phase attending the combined phenomena of the rise of. Teutonism in high places and the rise of the middle classes out of industrial ex- ploitation. Because the blocks our im mediate past, we have came to think she fills the whole of it. We neglect to jook behind her. If we did, we should fad the hearty eighteenth-century girl, who ate her breakfast of beef and beer, rode long miles and days ahorseback, and read Tom Jones with an enjoyment uncondemned either by herself or her critics-behind her again we should find the witty Carolean dame, with her know ledge of life and politice then comes the Elizabethan boy-girl (I can't believe that Shakespeare eroines are quite imagi nary), grandchild of those towering women of the Renaissance, mistresses of learning and love; the women who could read Latin and Greek and Hebrew, who ruled countries and empires and pulled the strings of puppet armies of men, who did their rough and dirty work. I can't conceive the most extreme advocate of women's rights demanding more...

Women are now in a transition state of recovery from the setback of Victorian- isnt, and on their way back to that free- dom which was theirs before the Tenny. sonian age. That is what is making their position in these days at once so conspicuous and so insecure. They are fighting-often with much clamour and often not quite fairly to win level with the men who got ahead of them "during those years when they were stationary under the Good Queen. Women's stand- ard of freedom and education may have been lower under Queen Anne than under Queen Victoria, but it was not so notice. ably behind that of the men, If" women were illiterate and unfranchised in the eighteenth century, so were the men, ex- cept the conspicuous few; but in the PICTORIAL nineteenth century the Reform Acts in- mensely enlarged the male scope in poli- tics without doing anything for women, and though the Education Acts were more impartial, the rise of masculine tyranny and vanity under a woman's reign made it comparatively difficult for women to avail themselves of their privileges. In the sixteenth and seven- teenth centuries-men at least tolerated in tellect in their wives..

Woman now has very nearly the same political and educational advantages as man, but you cannot be much impressed by the use she has made of them. Politics have surely never been more treacherous or commercial than they are in these Utopian daye, when woman has the vote, and education seems to have, persuaded some women to "think that their highest aim in life is to produce a feeble imitation of their brothers.
