But do not understand me as saying, or for one moment suggesting, that women legislators should confine themselves to doing only social service work. Not at all. |
I cannot doubt that women will line up, like the men elected, with the groups whose political thinking and convictions are in accord with their own political convictions. |
Of course, women can bring to the work of law-making, as their special share, their experience and knowledge of domestic and social questions. |
That is what government of the people, by the people, and for the people means, and women are people equally with men. |
The farm women are extremely well organized and are bound to be heard from. |
The one bill that was always defeated. The Bill? One to get lights on horse-drawn vehicles. The objection? Farmers couldn't afford twenty-five cents for a red disk. |
Women legislators must take their part in every phase of legislative work. And it is real work - much of it is drudgery. |
