Suffragette \Suf`fra*gette"\ n.
   A woman who advocates the right to vote for women; a woman
   suffragist.

   Note: This term was applied mostly to women in the United
         States prior to the adoption of the 19th amendment to
         the constitution in 1920, giving women the right to
         vote. Modern use of this term usually refers to the
         women who advocated female suffrage[5] in the years
         prior to 1920.

SUFFRAGETTE

T. H. E., a woman who lived years ago in Great
Britain and the United States, who believed that noble man was
incompetent, incomplete, incompatible, incongruent,
inconsistent, and an incubus in his incurious incumbency.  She
was the daughter of Too Much Time and Too Much Money.  Early
days spent at home.  She married and began her career.  S.'s
first weakness was a club.  Then she fell to the level of a
speech maker and a flag carrier.  The fanatical desire to see
her name in print led to the adoption of strenuous press-agent
tactics. She died fighting.  Ambition:  To offset her husband's
vote on election day.  Recreation:  Parading, windows, bombs,
letter boxes, English ministries, and a string of etcs.
Epitaph:  Requiescat In Pace. (Also see Mrs. Pankhurst and
Hope.)
    

SUFFRAGETTE

T. H. E. Anti-, still lives, but is dying fast.
Belongs to the moss-back half of femininity.  Has serious
objection to use of her head, except for decorative purposes.
Was not averse to press notices and looked with envy on the
achievements of the suffragettes in this direction.  Being
denied high office in their ranks because of lack of adequate
cerebration, she set up a rival organization where brains were
not requisite. Entertains the utterly absurd idea that all
women, except herself, belong at home with their husbands and
children.  Where they belong in the absence of these, deponent
sayeth not.  Ambition:  Continued parasitic existence.
Recreation:  Manufacturing evidence and tagging on behind.
Address:  Wherever there are suffrage meetings. Epitaph:  Alas!
The World Does Move And She Was "Agin It."
