...the Moving Spirit Of Militancy Is Deep

I Was Fourteen Years Old When I Went To My First Suffrage Meeting. Returning From School One Day, I Met My Mother Just Setting Out For The Meeting, And I Begged Her To Let Me Go Along.

The Whole Argument With The Anti-suffragists, Or Even The Critical Suffragist Man, Is This: That You Can Govern Human Beings Without Their Consent.

I Have Not Personally Suffered From The Deprivations, The Bitterness And Sorrow Which Bring So Many Men And Women To A Realisation Of Social Injustice.

It Always Seems To Me When The Anti-suffrage Members Of The Government Criticise Militancy In Women That It Is Very Like Beasts Of Prey Reproaching The Gentler Animals Who Turn In Desperate Resistance When At The Point Of Death.

Men Make The Moral Code And They Expect Women To Accept It.
