Status: Needs Review

men are postmasters. We have three
lady doctors and one of them is assis
tant physician in our largest hos
pital. Women have the munici-
pal vote and ^are eligible to Poor Law
Guardians.

These are the cheif encouraging points in
the present position of women in Finland.
In this direction the reforms are going [crossed out]
developing.

The dard points are in our country, as eve-
ry where else, the legal position of the
wife. True, she has the right to her own
earnings, but if she buys something
for this money, it becomes common
property, of which the husband is
the legal disposer. There has however
been several changes in the marriage
laws during the last years, so that it
is not quite as easy for a husband
as before, to sell the common property
the wife's consent is needed in many
more instances, than it used to be.
