The Emancipation of Woman. By Adele Crepaz, (Swan Son- nenechein

and Co.)—The author argues strongly in favour of what we may call the old-fashioned view of a woman's vocation. Woman's work is to be wife and mother, and if she seeks to rival man in the occupations of life, this work must inevitably suffer.. Her equality in mental power is conceded, at least in individual cases, but this is not, so our author argues, to be taken as a proof that she is called to do equal work. Madame Cremsz states her case powerfully, and will command the assent, we are sure, of most of her readers.
