Vida Goldstein:

War - red and bloody war - will not have the toll

so much desired by it, for women will increasingly

refuse to give life that men may take it.

The prostitution of the brain of man in making all

science but a means of dealing death in more

horrible forms will not be followed by the

prostitution of women in giving life to a child that

it may grow to manhood but to murder his fellow

man.
