... women of the North, I ask you to rise up with earnest, honest purpose, and go forward in the way of right, fearlessly, as independent human beings, responsible to God alone for the discharge of every duty, for the faithful use of every gift, the good Father has given you.

This is rather different from the receptions I used to get fifty years ago. They threw things at me then but they were not roses.
