Status: Needs Review

The wife can also make arrangements
before the marriage, by which she
may become [crossed out] obtain the right to dispose her
inherited property, but as this is
looked upon as a sign of distrust a-
gainst her future husband, very few
women do it. A married woman must
show her husbands' consent written
before she can buy a passport and
go abroad. As a mother she has no
more legal rights over her children,
than mothers in other countries. In
short, the married woman's ^legal position
is the weakest point in the [Finnish?]
woman's position.

As you see, there are many good re-
forms for which we ought to be
thankful, but also some earnest
disabilities which we must try to
get removed. We do not deny that we
enjoy comparatively much freedom
still, everybody who studies the
woman question in our country
