Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Woman Suffrage or the Child-Bearing Woman and Civilization: A Lecture Delivered Before the Independent Religious Society, Orchestra Hall, Michigan Ave; And Adams, Chicago, Sunday at 11 A. M There appears to be need of some bold man who specially honors plainness of speech, and will say what is best for the city and citizens, ordaining what is good for the whole state, amid the corruptions of human souls, opposing the mightiest lusts, and having no man his helper but himself, standing alone and following reason only. - Plato. The history of civilization is the history of sex relations. Between man and woman there has always been a struggle for leadership. There was a time when woman commanded, and man obeyed. In the matriarchal age a man could not hold property, and the children were named after the mother. This supremacy has been lost; from a position of independence woman has come to be dependent on man. The Woman Suffrage movement of today is an endeavor to regain, not the supremacy which woman once enjoyed, but to acquire equal rights with man in all the walks of life. As I wrote to you from England, I arrived in London on the day of the great Woman Suffrage parade. It was on a Saturday afternoon. Ten thousand women in line, and many times that number watching the procession from the Thames Embankment to Albert Hall. It was also my fortune to see the second great demonstration, a few days later, in Hyde Park, where I was one of nearly half a million people congregated around the temporary stands put up for the women speakers. It is not only in the English speaking world that the women are clamoring for political recognition. In Germany, too, there is an awakening of woman, as it is called; while in France, under the name of Le Feminisme, the suffrage movement commands a respectable following.
