The whole argument with the anti-suffragists, or even the critical suffragist man, is this: that you can govern human beings without their consent.

Men make the moral code and they expect women to accept it. They have decided that it is entirely right and proper for men to fight for their liberties and their rights, but that it is not right and proper for women to fight for theirs.

Women had always fought for men, and for their children. Now they were ready to fight for their own human rights. Our militant movement was established.

Justice and judgment lie often a world apart.

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.

If men will not do us justice, they shall do us violence.
