Jane Addams: “Why Women Should Vote”

( 1910 )
  • “To turn the administration of our civic affairs wholly over to men may mean that the American city will continue to push forward in its commercial and industrial development, and continue to lag behind in those things which make a city healthful and beautiful. After all, woman's traditional function has been to make her dwelling-place both clean and fair.” - “Why Women Should Vote”
