Abstract

In her opening lecture of a series on "The Progress of Women," held at Cork, Maye Ashton Dilke urged women to leave their protected "glass cases" in which they had remained for so long, and try to emancipate themselves by finding a professional occupation. As examples of ways in which this could be realised, she named the professions of journalist, writer and shop owner - in particular Mrs. Crawford (a Paris correspondant for the Daily News), Miss Beatrice Potter, and Mrs. Cooper Oakley (owner of a bonnet shop on Oxford Street). Concluding her addresss she demanded more freedom for women in their personal lives, e.g. the liberty not to be compelled to let their husband read through their correspondence.
