Quotations

“Women writers and women speakers may do a great deal by dropping the seed of thought [about peace] into women’s minds, and making the fact that they are the natural defenders of the young.” (Wendy Sharer, Vote and Voice: Women's Organizations and Political Literacy: 1915-1930, 2004, p. 39)
