The next issue of "Socialist Woman will feature the stirring words of
James Connolly, the great Irish revolutionary on the women of Ireland,
"None so fitted to break the chains as they who wear them, none so
well equipped to decide what is a fetter. In its march towards free-
dom, the working class of Ireland mst cheer on the efforts of those
women who, feeling on their souls and bodies the fetters of the ages,
