Quotations

“We believe that one great effect of the right of women to co-operate with men in political life will be that the horrors of war will in great measure be averted, and its sufferings alleviated.” (Englishwoman’s Review, June 15, 1876, in Heloise Brown, Truest Form of Patriotism, p. 29; portrait bc.in)
