Description
Excerpt from Women''s Fight for the Vote
The Women''s Social and Political Union, since the commencement of militant methods of agita tion in 1905, have carried on the double work of fighting and educating simultaneously. They have had to fight, as the warriors did of old, with the sword in one hand and the trowel in the other. Or, to change the metaphor, while the fundamental business of the Union has been a direct attack upon the Government of the day who have been the obstacle to the enfranchisement of women, yet, at the same time, they have had to fight a rear guard action against the straggling hosts which are still opposed to the principles of Woman Suffrage.
Of these opponents some have adopted the direct and honest method of frank hostility, and others have preferred the dishonest policy of professing friendship while in secret they do not hesitate to use every means in their power to block, to side track, and, if possible, to prevent the enfranchise ment of women.
