MEXICAN WOMEN.
Mexican women have been slow to move, but, like so many others, they seem to make up for this when once they “get going.”
A University Women’s Association has been formed, and has about sixty members, but, as was perhaps to be expected, the urge for advancement deals largely with matters purely feminine. Thus, to a woman has been due the establishment of juvenile courts, while, very appropriate to the country, is the Association of God-mothers, formed to assist young people in reformatories, and to promote among them what is referred to as “moral support and sane amusement.” Such modern touches, again, as the story hour for children in libraries, are due to the women. From all we have heard, it is very probable that the average Mexican women, confined much to the home, had considerable domestic power, and now that she is, as is said, “waking up,” she will transfer that influence to a wider sphere.
