Abstract

Several women speak at a meeting of the Association, including Mrs. Rawlison Ford, who contributes to the discussion following a lecture on factory and workshop acts; "Miss Collette [...] spoke about the difficulties in the way of thoroughly inspecting the workshops." Mrs. Stopes's comments on a paper on the effects of corsets on the respiratory system are reproduced, and a paper by Lady Welby is read by a male speaker. Nina Layard reads a paper "criticising Darwin's theory of 'Reversions,'" and "the livelies paper was [...] by Miss Dowie" on her travels in the Carpathians and Rutheina. On the latter, the article comments that "[t]here was a large audience attracted by the desire of hearing a good-looking young woman relate her personal experience of danger and difficulty and discovery." Mentions that "even the president" praised her lecture, but ends by stating: "We shall now resume the serious business of the Association." Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull-Martin's paper on "The Ideal Aim of the Economist" is read by her daughter, and briefly summarised.
