There can be no fundamental democracy where half the population, being of sound mind, are compelled to obey laws in the making of which they have had no voice . But if I must say more, then I would say that women today need, and are asking for the ballot not because they wish to forsake their homes, but because they wish to make their homes better places to live in. Woman needs the ballot to protect her home and her children, now as always her first care . .” - Grace Isabel Colbron, “Why I Believe in Woman Suffrage,” n.d.
