A'B_10 #» ~—— THE EVENING FEMINST DONATE - LBRARYTOPARS :Mme. Durand’s 10,000 Vol- umes Give Valuable His- tory of Women. By Cable to The Star. . PARIS, February 25.—Because she| feels that she cannot be as active as of | Jyore in the cause of women, Mme | Marguerite Durand has presented her | dibrary to the City of Paris. It will e known as the Marguerite Durand Library of Feminist Documentation and «the donor will be the librarian without | wompensation. For the last 12 months | Mme. Durand has been completing the dndex and she regrets that news of her | Antention became public before the for- | mal opening of the library in the “Bpring. | ! Because for more than 40 years Mme. “Marguerite Durand has been a leading figure in the feminist movement in this ‘country her library is especially inter- | vesting. It includes everything relating 2to woman—books, manuscripts, engrav- “4ngs, files of newspapers and reviews, biographies, portraits, works by women authors, histories of women rulers and «ocuments relating to the various fem- dnine religious orders. In all there are more than 10,000 volumes, presenting a very valuable history ‘of woman through™ the ages In addition there is a card index giv- ing references to the books which are not included in the collection, and a et of 300 theses written by women secking university degrees. | Paper Employed Women Only. The card index is a relic of the days when Marguerite Durand edited La Fronde, the only daily newspaper ever | produced entirely by women. The first | number appeared on December 11, 1897, and the publication lived seven years. | La Pronde was manned—if the word | xan be used in this instance—entirely | *by women, from Mme. Durand hersell‘ as editor in chief down to the type- | “setters and copy girls. It was a morn- | ing paper and labor inspectors strove w‘ enforce the so-called “protective” law, | “which prevents women from working as | ‘typesetters at night. ‘They were out- “witted by making the paper a ca-oper- | Ztive society. The women would tell ‘the inspectors: “We are not laborers, but patronnes, and patronnes can work awhen and how they will” | . Fronde gathered about it all the | Pioneers in the feminist cause. It led | the fight that won admission for wom- | en to the schools of higher learning | 2nd to the legal profession. 3 Defeated by Hard Times. | % 1t was essentially feminine, but it was ‘ real newspaper as well; its spirit was | Lndaunted, but hard times finally forced | 4t out of existence.
