Join the union, girls, and together say Equal Pay for Equal Work.
To grant woman an equality with man in the affairs of life is contrary to every tradition, every precedent, every inheritance, every instinct and every teaching. The acceptance of this idea is possible only to those of especially progressive tendencies and a strong sense of justice, and it is yet too soon to expect these from the majority.

I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel...the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.
