‘Idealistic Women in Politics Will Harm Themselves’

“GOD made men and women with different intellects for different purposes. He made them for different spheres of work. Man is for government and bread-winning; woman for home-making and child-bearing. I am a little in doubt as to which is the superior, but if pressed to tell I should say that woman’s mission is the more important.”

“Many estimable, good-hearted women, ruled by their sympathy, their sentiment and their good hearts, rather than by their judgment, plunge into politics with the idea that they can right the wrongs of the world.”

“It is not the harm that woman will do in the world of politics, but the harm they will receive in the world of politics, that must be guarded against.”

— Rev. Dr. Alfred G. Mortimer, rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church (As reported in The Anti-Suffragist, March, 1910)
