Enough of sympathy

"We had enough of sympathy for fifty years; it never brought us anything; and we should rather have an angry man going to the government and saying, my business is interfered with and I won't submit to it being interfered with any longer because you won't give women the vote, than to have a gentleman come in to our platforms year in and year out and talk about his ardent sympathy with women suffrage".
Such powerful expressions by Emmeline Pankhurst. The woman who led the struggle for voting rights for women. We need more such voices. And them, to get louder
