ABSTRACT
The true suffragette is an epitome of the determination of women to possess their own souls. Men, as a sex, have not yet grasped the inevitability of the forging of this last link in the chain of human progress. Ever since history peeps out of the mists of time, the male of the race has made it his prerogative to give or deny the whole world to his partner, but has withheld from her that which is above all temporal things, namely, the possession of a soul, the manifestation of the Godhead within. Men have been able to go forward through good report and ill report, and so low has been the standard of morals for them that the breath of scandal but seemed to burnish more brightly their good qualities. The glorious and inscrutable Spirit of Liberty has but one further penalty within its power, the surrender of Life itself.
