Sir, After reading Sir Almroth Wright’s able and weighty exposition of women as he knows them the question seems no longer to be “Should women have votes?” but “Ought women not to be abolished altogether?” I have been so [...] Republican State Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald is many things, but apparently one this he’s not is a believer in the idea that women can have strong political views (and take equally strong action in support of those views) without needing a man to tell them how to think.
