Men Make The Moral Code

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

You Must Make Women Count As Much As Men; You Must Have An Equal Standard Of Morals; And The Only Way To Enforce That Is Through Giving Women Political Power So That You Can Get That Equal Moral Standard Registered In The Laws Of The Country. It Is The Only Way.

What Is The Use Of Fighting For A Vote If We Have Not Got A Country To Vote In?

Those Men And Women Are Fortunate Who Are Born At A Time When A Great Struggle For Human Freedom Is In Progress. It Is An Added Good Fortune To Have Parents Who Take A Personal Part In The Great Movements Of Their Time. I Am Glad And Thankful That This Was My Case.

I Thought I Had Been A Suffragist Before I Became A Poor Law Guardian, But Now I Began To Think About The Vote In Women's Hands Not Only As A Right But As A Desperate Necessity.
