“Jump on him! He is only a MERE
man!”
Talk of failure for women’s
suffrage. Trying to portray the
Suffragettes as “bitter old
crones in a gender-war.”
“Haven’t the Suffragettes
the sense to see that the
very worst way of
campaigning for the vote
is to try and intimidate a man into
giving them what he would gladly
give otherwise?” -Lloyd George,
speaking in 1913.
