Most of the women who have offered themselves for public office over the years have done so, I believe, more because of the 'dirt' than in spite of it.

Whatever is dirty, it is women's job to clean up, or drive some man to clean up, and that goes for everything from cellar to senate.

We meet all life's greatest tests alone.

It is a fact that all women contribute more to marriage than men for the most part they have to change their place of living, their method of work, a great many women today changing their occupation entirely on marriage and they must even change their name.

I believe the preservation of the home in the future lies almost entirely in the hands of men.

When I first came to the House of Commons and walked out into the lobby, men sprang to their feet. I asked them to sit down since I'd come to walk around. I didn't want them doing me favours.

If the preservation of the home means the enslavement of women, economically or morally, then we had better break it.
