Last night the Labor Party held a meeting in the Albert Hall in London. The hall holds at least 10,000 people, and it was crammed. There upon the platform among the speakers stood a young Scottish woman of twenty-two, and she not merely had the vote, like all other women now, but was herself a newly elected Member of Parliament. What is more, she and her fighting speech were received by that vast audience with a storm of applause exceeding in enthusiasm even the applause given to the party's famous leader. Twenty years ago, or fifteen years ago, any woman speaker who claimed the common right of citizenship was received with howls and yells, filthy abuse, squashy tomatoes, and chickens that flew before they were hatched.
