DEDICATION
To the poor women without homes, to the little toilers who should
be in the schools and playgrounds, to the white slaves in their tragic
bondage, and to the children who die, these pages are dedicated! May
every woman who is not too idle to have a thought, or too vain to have
a soul, or too rich in gold to have a heart, join in the great struggle
for women’s freedom!
Purity, Liberty, Justice—these we must work for!
