I Am What You Call A Hooligan-

I Was Fourteen Years Old When I Went To My First Suffrage Meeting. Returning From School One Day, I Met My Mother Just Setting Out For The Meeting, And I Begged Her To Let Me Go Along.

It Always Seems To Me When The Anti-suffrage Members Of The Government Criticise Militancy In Women That It Is Very Like Beasts Of Prey Reproaching The Gentler Animals Who Turn In Desperate Resistance When At The Point Of Death.

What Is The Use Of Fighting For A Vote If We Have Not Got A Country To Vote In?

There Is Something That Governments Care For Far More Than Human Life, And That Is The Security Of Property, And So It Is Through Property That We Shall Strike The Enemy. Be Militant Each In Your Own Way. I Incite This Meeting To Rebellion.

Men Make The Moral Code And They Expect Women To Accept It. They Have Decided That It Is Entirely Right And Proper For Men To Fight For Their Liberties And Their Rights, But That It Is Not Right And Proper For Women To Fight For Theirs.
