Female Suffrage

Famous quotes containing the words female and/or suffrage:

““Reason” in language: oh, what a fraudulent old female she is! I am afraid that we have not eliminated God because we still believe in grammar.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“... the most important effect of the suffrage is psychological. The permanent consciousness of power for effective action, the knowledge that their own thoughts have an equal chance with those of any other person ... this is what has always rendered the men of a free state so energetic, so acutely intelligent, so powerful.”
