It is, therefore, obvious that the move ment for the economic independence of women in China has commenced. From time to time the news from Canton and Shanghai mentions the name of a connection with national politics. The movement for the economic independence of women in Great Britain and the United States preceded the great efforts made mostly by women (who were economically in dependent) in the cause of woman's

One is the industrial revolution and the other the economic independence of women. The former has entirely transformed the working day of the majority of the citizens of Europe and North America. It is beginning to affect the so-called "unchanging East." The shipyards, and the factories in Hongkong and Shanghai Admiral Oriental liner 3.5. President
