THE PROGRESS OF THE WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT.
An address to the Cambridge Branch of the Conservative and Unionist Women's Suffrage Association at their Annual Meeting on May 23, 1913. By Mrs. Henry Sidgwick.
It seems to me sometimes that we do not cheer ourselves as much as we might by thinking of the immense strides our movement has made in the last fifty years; so I propose to say a few words about it this afternoon, although there is not of course anything very new to say. For we need cheering because, notwithstanding the general progress of our cause, we are just now suffering from a serious set-back due to the action of the militant societies. They are clearly and visibly setting people against us. And it appears that not only in this country are they raising up enemies against us, but that our militants are hindering the movement in other countries.
