Women ought to have representatives, instead of being arbitrarily governed without any direct share allowed them in the deliberations of government.

What I said was that in a democratic society, people must be permitted to make their choices and that the choices of women should not be subordinate to the choices of men, otherwise women are less than equal, are second-class citizens.
I want to organize so that women see ourselves as people who are entitled to power, entitled to leadership.
At present, our country needs women's idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.
Women have worked hard; starved in prison; given of their time and lives that we might sit in the House of Commons and take part in the legislating of this country.

Clever and attractive women do not want to vote; they are willing to let men govern as long as they govern men.

The women of the country have the power in their own hands, in spite of the law and the government being altogether of the male order.
Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote. The relative positions to be assumed by man and woman in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours.
