Australian experience has conclusively disposed of the objection that
women have no aptitude for politics or interest in public affairs. They
have proved that they possess both, and while they have no general
ambition or desire for parliamentary honors, and display no sex
antagonism, they regard their right to vote for representatives as a
responsible trust. It is rendered equally clear that they can and do
exercise a salutary influence on the political life of the country
without sustaining in the slightest degree any of the injuries or
disabilities that have been supposed to follow. They are as good wives,
mothers, and sisters as ever, and better companions for their men folk
because of their widened interest and the truer equality in which they
stand.
