Sir Almroth Wright, 1912‘The recruiting ground for the militant suffragettes is the half million of an excess female population … a class of women who have all their lives been strangers to joy, women in whom instincts long suppressed have in the end broken into flame. These are the sexually embittered women in whom everything has turned to gall and bitterness of heart and hatred of men … One half of their nature has undergone atrophy with the result that they have lost touch with their living fellows, men and women’.
