Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman Suffrage in Practice, 1913 AT the Sixth Convention of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, held in Stockholm, in June, 1911, it was decided to publish a book to show that Woman Suffrage had ceased to be a mere academic question; that already in many countries women have had conferred on them franchise and eligibility rights in the election of local councils and also of legislative bodies that contrary to the prophecies of the anti-suffragist, women make use of their citizen rights; that no dire consequences follow, women do not become unsexed, nor are their homes neglected; that the consensus of opinion in the countries where women do exercise these rights is that the extension of the vote to women has been beneficial, not only to the country but to the women themselves; that legislation especially concerning women is more easily placed on the statute books of the fully enfranchised countries and that Opposition to the movement is dead. This is the book. It sets forth hard facts as they are to-day and the reader can see for himself how little based on reality are the speculations of the anti-suffragist. The book is intended to bring home to Members of Parliament and others in the different countries the growth and universality of the movement. It is hoped that each Auxiliary will help to distribute it as widely as possible, so that its contribution to the proof that success is inevitable may do something towards advancing the cause in every country.
