“No matter how well-born, how intelligent, how highly educated, how virtuous, how rich, how refined, the women of to-day constitutea political class below that of every man, no matter how base-born, how stupid, how ignorant, how vicious, how poverty-stricken, how brutal. The pauper in the almshouse may vote; the lady who devotes her philanthropic thought to making that almshouse habitable, may not. The tramp who begs cold victuals in the kitchen may vote; the heiress who feeds him and endows universities may not.” MenWellsMayMatterPoliticalBornClassPovertyRichStupidColdVoteIntelligentUniversityEvery ManIgnorantEducatedKitchenVirtuousBrutalViciousRefinedSuffragePhilanthropicTrampsWoman SuffrageHeiress Author:Mary Corinna Putnam Jacobi

Upon these feeble and inferior companions all men were permitted to avenge the indignities they suffered from so many men to whom they were forced to submit.” MenLongHas BeensAgeFormClassCeaseCompanionSubmitInferiorsSovereigntyIndignity Author:Mary Corinna Putnam Jacobi
