WOMAN'S VANISHED SPHERE.

[DY OLIVE CHERINER*}

Whatever the result of the chan-es of modern elvilisation may be with regard co the male, he certainly cannot complain that they have as a whole robbed him of his fields of Jabour, diminished his share in the conduct of life, or reduced him to a coalition of morbid inactivity,

"

In our woman's field of labour matters here tended to shape themselves wholly otherwico! The changes which have taken place during the last centuries, and which we sump up under the compendious term "modern civilisation have tended to rob women, not merely lu part but almost wholly, of the more valuable of her ancient domains of productive and social labour; and, where there has not been a determined and conscious resistance on her part, have nowhere spontaneously tended to open out te her new and compensatory Selds.

It is this fact that constiintes our modern

Joman's Labour Problem." Our

spinning wheels are all broken; in a thousand buge

buildings steam-driven looms, guided by a few hundred thousands of hande (often these of men), produce the clothings of half the world; and we dare no longer say, proudly, as of old, that we and we alone alotho cur people

Our hoes and our grindstones passed from us long ago, when the ploughman and the railler tock our place; but for a time we kept fast Trossession of the kneading-trough and the brewing vat. To-day steem often whapes our bread, and the loavos uro sat down at our very door-it may be by a man- driven water-car The history of our household drinks we know no longer: we morely see them sat before us at our tables. Day by day machine-prepared and fastery produced vinnds take a larger and larger place in the dietary of rich and

poor, till the working man's wife places before her household tile that is of her own preparation: while among the wealthier classes, an for has domestic change gone that mon are not unfrequently found labouring in our houses and kitchens, and even standing behind out chairs ready to do all but actually place the morsels of food between our feminine lips. In every direction the ancient saw, that it was axolusively the woman's sphere to pro pare the viande for her household, has become, in proportion as civilisation has perfected itself, an antiquated lie.

indeed, was the consciousness of the importance to society of continuous child-bearing on the part of woman, that as late as the middle of the sixteenth century Martin Luther wrote: "If a woman becomes weary or at bust dead from bearing, that mutters not," and he doubtless gave expression, in a crude and somewhat brutal form, to a conviction common to the bulk of his contemporaries both male and female.

To-day this condition bas

bas almost

completely reversed itself. The advance of science and the amelioration of the physical conditions of life tend rapidly toward a diminution of human mortality, while yet more seriously has the do- wand for woman's labour as child-bearer been diminished by ohange in another direction.

Every mechanical invention which lessons the necessity for rough, autrained, mosonlar, human labour diminishes also the social demand apon woman as the producer in large masses of such Isbourers. Already throughout the modern civilised world we have reached a point at which the social demand is not morely for human creatures in bulk for us as beasts of bur- den, but, rather, and only, for such human creatures as shall be go trained and cultured to be fitted for the performance of thy more complex datios of modern life, Not, now, merely for many mon, but rather for few men, and those few well-bora and well-instructed in the modern demand. It is cortsin that the time is now rapidly approaching when child-bearing will be regarded rather as a lofty privilege, por missible only to those who hare shown their power rightly to train and provide for their offspring, thou a labour which in itself, and nader whatever conditions performed, is benefi cial to society.

most, onter- &

Thus it has come to pass that vast numbers of as are, by modern social conditions, pro- hibited from child-bearing at all; and that even these among us who are child-bearers are re- quired, in proportion as the class or race to which we belong stands high in the scale of civilisation, to produce in limited number of offspring so that even circle for those of us, child-bearing and sack- ling, instead of fling the entire of female life from the first appearance of puberty to the end of middle age, becomes Bu episodal occupation, employing from thres or var to ton or trouty of the three-score. and-ten-years which are allottet to human life. In such societies the statement (so profoundly tree when made with regard to most savage sosisties, and even largely true with regard to those in the intermediate stages Even the minor domestic eperations are tand-of civilisation) has the main and continuous "to age is ing to pass out of the circle of woman's labour, occupation of all women from pabarty

Year by year, day by day, there is a antiquated and unmitigated mis-statement. silently working but determined tendency for the sphere of woman's

domestic labour to contract itself; and the contraction is marked exactly in proportion as that complex condition which we term " modern civilisation" is advanced.

It manifests itself wore in England and America than in Italy and Spain, more in great cities than in country places, more among the wealthier olan os than the poorer, and is an unfailing indication of advancing modern Givilisation.

But it is not only, nor even mainly, in the sphere of women's material domestic labours that change has touched her and shrank her ancient field of labour,

Looking round, then, with the atmost impar

It is this great fact, so often and so completely overlooked, which Hes as the propell ing force behind that vast and restless "Woman's Movement" which marks our day.
