We Women Are Callow Fledglings As Compared With The Wise Old Birds Who Manipulate The Political Machinery, And We Still Hesitate To Believe That A Woman Can Fill Certain Positions In Public Life As Competently And Adequately As A Man.

Every Woman Who Fails In A Public Position Confirms This, But Every Woman Who Succeeds Creates Confidence.
