DI TCH WOMEN NOW
DEMANDING THEIR RIGHT
THE HAGUE. Jan., 14— The ideals
and ideas of Dutch women, for cen
turies confined to children, kit ’her.
and church, have undergone a change
and the daughters of the land of wind
mills and canals are making a strong
fight for their rights.
Several great organizations have
been formed for improvement of the
conditions of women. With the re
vision of the Dutch constitution last
year, women obtained full suffrage
and the result is that now there a e
women in nearly every town council.
Realizing , however, that the pos
session of the vote .done does not
decide the lot of women, the promot
ers of the movement are now seeking
to bring about changes in the laws
and regulations which discriminate
against the sex economically and so
cially.
