And it's horrible the things they have to suffer in order to get it. But they will get it!" "Why do you say 'they'?" "I mean 'we." "Supposing you meant 'they, after all? And you did, Madame. Let me tell you. You ask me if I sympathise with suffragism. You might as well ask me if I sympathise with a storm or with an earthquake, or with a river running to the sea. Perhaps I do.
In the present instance shop was suffragism. The Spatts had developed into supporters of militancy in a very curious way. Mrs. Spatt's sister, a widow, had been mixed up with the Union for years. One day she was fined forty shillings or a week's imprisonment for a political peccadillo involving a hatpin and a policeman. It was useless for her to remind the magistrate that she, like Mrs.
And is it not just as stupid and even senseless to oppose suffragism on speculative or rather hypothetical grounds, instead of being guided by the experience of other countries in this respect and accepting suffragism as part and parcel of our modern customs and institutions?
"But I pitch into all the boys I see that I'm sure I can whip. Then they let me alone. They think I'm tough. These boys wouldn't let a girl sell a flower, nor a newspaper, nor nothin', if they could help it. We girls got ter fight 'em." "The beginning of suffragism," groaned Nan.

Spatt wrote to his favourite evening paper to point out the despicable ingratitude of a country which would have imprisoned a daughter of the celebrated B , and announced that henceforward he would be an active supporter of suffragism, which hitherto had interested him only academically.
The adventuress of fiction always comes to grief. But the adventuress in real life the prudent adventuress who draws the line at adultery the would-be leader of society without the wealth the would-be political leader without the masculine fiber is sure of disappointment in the end. Take the agitation over Suffragism. What is it that the woman suffragette expects to get?
No one of them can, or does, clearly tell us. It is feminism, rather than suffragism, which is dangerous. Now that they have it, my fear is that the leaders will not stop with the ballot for women. They are too fond of the spotlight. It has become a necessity for them.
Miss Jenkins had reached the certain or uncertain age when women take to militant suffragism. She didn't like being corrected when she made mistakes, and used to argue with me till you'd have thought it was she who ran the office, and not I." "All right. I'll do my best." "Not too young, though," said Owen, half-maliciously, "or she'll be thinking about her best boy all day instead of working.
