On the Frontiers of Feminism

May 28, 1910, Women's History

May 28, 1910: Mrs. Frances Squire Potter of the National Suffrage League says the day is coming when women will serve as police officers, lawyers, judges and jurors. She says: "In that good time coming, the woman will pick her husband instead of being picked. There will be more divorces for a while, because of more mistakes being made than when the men did the picking, but by and by when more of the matrimonial arrangements are made by the women, the standards will be raised so much higher that divorce will be done away with."

The story also notes that she’s against women wearing men’s clothing.
