Men Make The Moral Code

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.

Those Men And Women Are Fortunate Who Are Born At A Time When A Great Struggle For Human Freedom Is In Progress.

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.

It Is Perfectly Evident To Any Logical Mind That When You Have Got The Vote, By The Proper Use Of The Vote In Sufficient Numbers, By Combination, You Can Get Out Of Any Legislature Whatever You Want, Or, If You Cannot Get It, You Can Send Them About Their Business And Choose Other People Who Will Be More Attentive To Your Demands.

If It Is Right For Men To Fight For Their Freedom, And God Knows What The Human Race Would Be Like Today If Men Had Not, Since Time Began, Fought For Their Freedom, Then It Is Right For Women To Fight For Their Freedom And The Freedom Of The Children They Bear.
