"My country 'tis for thee, To make your women free, This is our plea. High have our hopes been raised In these enlightened days That for her justice, praised Our land might be.
My native country, thee; Grant us equality! Then shall we see In this fair land of light, Justice and truth and right Ruling, instead of might - True liberty.

Give women of this land the honor other nations have bestowed upon theirs. Make democracy triumphant at home that the Republic may war upon its treacherous enemy autocracy without a spot on the national escutcheon. Do it now. Support the Federal Suffrage Amendment!"
This booklet concludes with a poem by Robert Burns, written November 1792:
"While Europe's eye is fixed on mighty things The fate of empires and the fall of kings; While quacks of state much each produce his plan, And Even children lisp the Rights of man; Amid this mighty fuss just let me mention, The Rights of Women merit some attention."]]>2023-02-06T19:39:26+00:00
