ABSTRACT
Now there were a good many Suffragettes who were journalists. The calling of journalism fosters and creates that very spirit of liberty and equality from which is bred the insistent sense of injustice, from which has come the revolt of the Suffragette. But journalism also breeds a sense and knowledge of combination, and the journalists in the fighting wing took good care that the secret of the meeting was preserved. Moreover, they knew by what means to ensure that end. A brief communication was sent to the Central News and the Press Association, announcing that a successful meeting had been held and that an eloquent address had been delivered by Lady Cardington, in which she had urged upon those present the uselessness of the attempt to employ physical force, and had earnesly advised that the raids upon the House of Commons and all tactics of such a nature should be abandoned. She had urged the use of more constitutional remedies to redress the grievances and disabilities under which the female sex at present suffered.
