Women Emancipation in the United States
We got a letter from Yankton, a city in South Dakota (United States) saying that the legislature of the county has just adopted, by a large majority, a bill by Mr. Enos Stutsman, that grants women the right to vote and to stand for election. (Siècle, January 15th, 1869).
Wednesday, July 29th, Mrs. Alexandrine Bris took a Bachelor of Science exam before the Faculty of Sciences of Paris; she was granted four white balls, a rare success, that earned her congratulations from the president ratified with acclamations by the whole audience.
Le Temps guarantees that Mrs. Bris is to enroll at the Faculty of Medicine, in view of her doctorate (Grand Moniteur, August 6th, 1868).
We were told that Ms. Bris is American. We know two ladies from New York, sisters of Miss B..., members of the Spiritist Society of Paris, who are certified doctors and practice medicine exclusively for women and children. We are not there yet.
