Slim pamphlet originally printed for private circulation, titled ‘Women and the New Franchise Bill: A Letter to an Ulster Member of Parliament’ by Isabella M. S. Tod, dated March 1884. The letter concludes:
“I fear that if some of our legislators do not realise that if our demand is a quiet and unexcited demand, it is also a persistent one. No class that has once decidedly asked for franchise has ever accepted a defeat. The claim will be reiterated until it is granted; for it is not based upon caprice, but upon an assured conviction that it is impossible for women to do their duty, and to protect their interests and dignity, without the same weapon which men find essential for the same purposes.”
