Robert Borden

history. The women, of course, had a say in this as it was hard to ignore their arguments. “Thousands of women are supporting idle, drunken husbands, and these women are deprived of the franchise, while the lords of creation strut about and control the elections, “Sam Hughes told Parliament. “ By all means give the women the vote.” The women knew what they deserved and they used their voice, but some people didn’t care, except for Sam Hughes.
