The women of the North. The face of Northern Beauty, keen-eyed, eager, smiling. They have discovered an exciting new world, a world in which a woman is no more a mere chattel, a carrier of wood. It is a world of occasional flirting, of dancing, of having a say in whom they should marry and whom they should not. No wonder they look so eagerly towards the future!
