QUOTES

CIVIL RIGHTS
We pledge ourselves to create a new public opinion in the South which will not condone for any reason whatever acts of mobs or lynchers.

WOMEN'S MOVEMENT
We were idealists. We thought that when we got the vote the whole pattern of politics would be greatly improved and would be dominated by women.

While women's suffrage has not brought about the political millennium which its fondest backers predicted, its effects on the whole have been decidely beneficial.
