Literature
Although Lady Dorothy Nevill seemed interested by the movement and wrote a good deal about it, she was clearly not in favour of the more militant methods used: "Ill-temper, unreasoning extravagance, and a condition of hysterical revolt will never do anything but augment feminine ills; it is not with such weapons as these that woman will overcome man ... it is not improbable that future generations will despise everything connected with the suffrage ... Women should realize that at present they enjoy many privileges which, if they were considered as the absolute equals of men, would probably be withdrawn" (My Own Times, 1912, p. 137).
