Whereas |
the nation depends for its progress and existence upon
the work and services of women as well as of men; |
Whereas |
the State is organised for the mutual protection and co-operation
of all its citizens, women as well as men; |
Whereas |
the Government conducts the national business by means of taxes
levied upon women as well as men; |
Whereas |
the women of the Nation have made clear their need for political
rights, and their desire to posses the Parliamentary Vote; |
[Wh]ereas |
working women, and women in the home, are in especial need of the
protection of the Vote since legislation is interfering more and more
with their interest; |
[WOME]N'S FREEDOM LEAGUE |
| |
calls upon the Government to remove the sex disability
which deprives qualified women of their just right of voting in the
Parliamentary elections, and |
DEMANDS |
| |
the immediate extension of the Franchise to Women on the same terms
as it is, or may be enjoyed by men. |
| |
The Nation can never be free until the law recognises and establishes |
VOTES FOR WOMEN |
THE DEMAND IS JUST. |
THE REFORM INEVITABLE. |
DELAY IS UNWISE AND UNJUST. |
Therefore |
in the Name of Liberty and Humanity the Women's Freedom
League claims the Vote |
