Are Women People? A Book of Rhymes for Suffrage Times · Chapter 19Warning to Suffragists

This chapter is not translated yet. You are reading the original.

(“The Latin man believes that giving woman the vote will make her less attractive.”—Anna H. Shaw.)

They must sacrifice their beauty

Who would do their civic duty,

Who the polling booth would enter,

Who the ballot box would use;

As they drop their ballots in it

Men and women in a minute,

Lose their charm, the antis tell us,

But—the men have less to lose.
