VOL. 2, NO 214 Chicago, Monday, June 9, 1913 ONE CENT A WORLD-WIDE MOVEMENT OF WOMEN TO FREE THEMSELVES FROM SLAVERY TO MEN The' New Emancipation The Woman's Uprising Crops Out in Various Manifestations in All Corners of the Earth-Man, by Exploiting Woman Industrially, Has Forced Her to Fight for Liberty. BY N. D. COCHRAN Do YOU know that right now the women of the world are fighting for liberty? If you don't it is because you d6n't put two and two together when you read newspapers and. magazines. But that's one trouble with newspaper reading. Newspapers are hur riedly made and hurriedly read. You read today's headlines today and to morrow's headlines tomorrow, and the next day you forget both, when you 'read that day's headlines and stories. There may be a story on one page of today's paper and another story on another page. They appear to hav6 no connection, yet in fact there is an intimate connection. And you only get the real'value of the news when you put two. and two together. To illustrate. You read of the English suffragettes burning a house. That's one story. You read another of the department store girls in Buf falo striking for higher pay and better working conditions. That's another story. Then you read about a suffrage parade in Washington, an argument by Illinois women for easier divorce laws, an investigation of the low wages of women by the O'Hara commission, a speech by Mrs. Raymond Robins in St. Louis on the organization of women in trades unions, the adoption of a minimum-wage-for-women plantf in Teddy's platform, women of the Orient takiifg off the veils of centuries and showing their faces, the organ ization of another woman's club, women smoking in public in .fact, a thousand and one stories about women, and each a separate story. Yet all these stories are so many manifestations of one movement the emancipation of woman from slavery to man, an uprising of woman all over the world, a striving for liberty and. equality, a fight for freedom.
