You may remember that I posted about Lists of Note –
a fabulous book. More Letters of Note features letters rather than lists. It is a great read nevertheless.
It is a compilation of letters written by a variety of
people – all of which are interesting.
Some use bad language which is to be regretted.
As a taster I thought you might enjoy this letter from
Bertha Brewster to the Daily Telegraph in 1913
Sir,
Everyone seems to agree
upon the necessity of putting a stop to Suffragist
outrages; but no one seems certain how to do so. There are two, and only two, ways in which
this can be done. Both will be
effectual.
1.
Kill every woman in the United Kingdom
2.
Give women the vote
Yours truly,
Bertha Brewster
Well, that's certainly a very convincing argument right there in that letter you featured. :-)
