The meeting was called to discuss the degradation of women under the Contagious Diseases Act.

Led by Josephine Butler, the women of England were deeply stirred on the question of its repeal and have since secured it.

I heard Mrs.Butler speak in many of her society meetings as well as on other occasions.

Her style was not unlike that one hears in Methodist camp meetings from the best cultivated of that sect; her power lies in her deeply religious enthusiasm.

In London we met Emily Faithful, who had just returned from a lecturing tour in the United States, and were much amused with her experiences.
