Quotations

"Men's predominant instinct was for struggle and competition. In women the predominant instinct is maternal and humanitarian. This quality was of such supreme value that it makes women potentially superior to males." (Vancouver Women's School for Citizenship, Susan Walsh thesis 146; 1916 photo TML Daily)
