Quotations

"The evils of bad government fall ever most heavily on the mothers of the race, who, however wise and far-seeing, have no voice in its administration, no power to protect themselves and their children against a male dynasty of violence and force." (Hist. Woman Suffrage II:87; photo Freethought Almanac)
