False Histories
How many women are revered
for what they were
perceived as doing to
get the masses of
simple-minded girls to vote?
How many historians look closely at what
these philanthropic ladies turned their backs on?
How many of these great ladies formed an
alliance with a political candidate who opposed such things as aged pensions,
reasonable wages and workers’ compensation for the masses?
Was it not the reality that many pious middle-class women wanted to protect their social preserve?
When will man learn not to revere false histories?
