Excerpt from The Modern Woman's Rights Movement: A Historical Survey
The first edition of this book appeared in 1905. That edition is exhausted, an evidence of the great present-day interest in the woman's rights movement. This new edition takes into account the developments since 1905, contains the recent statistical data, and gives an account of the woman's suffrage movement which has been especially characteristic of these later years. Wherever the statistical data have been left unchanged, either there have been no new censuses or the new results were not available.
The facts contained in this volume do not require of me any prefatory observations on the theoretical justification of the woman's rights movement.1 From the remotest time man has tried to rule her who ought to be comrade and colleague to him. By virtue of the law of might he generally succeeded Every protest against this law of might was a woman's rights movement.
