ABSTRACT
IN opening the subject of Women's Suffrage, my first wish is to present it in such a light that it shall not at once awaken prejudices against it; and I should wish to approach it not as a novelty advocated by a distinct and necessarily aggressive party, not as at first blush it may be considered as merely an agitation, a battle maintained by a class whose view of their due position in the world is different from that which the world has hitherto been disposed to take, and who, therefore, can expect for a long time little save uncompromising opposition, contempt, or at least utter indifference.
