Education and Votes for Women
By Elizabeth Cooper
(Author of “My Lady of the Chinese Court Yard,” “Women of Egypt,” “Market for Souls,” “The Harem and the Purdah,” “Living Up to Billy,” etc. From “Woman and Education” in “Educational Foundations.”)
That this enlargement of the educational horizon of women in Britain means necessarily “Votes for Women” may or may not be inferred. Certain it is that the advancing social and economic arrangements of modern society will add continually to the allotment to women of tasks and responsibilities unknown to them in the past. Women will accept such responsibilities in accordance with their ability and training in competition with men, and their trained intelligence will become year by year a more widely recognized fact in the minds of University authorities and in the adjustment and enlargement of curriculum and University life.
