In her essay "Woman Suffrage", she ridicules the idea that women's involvement would infuse the democratic state with a more just orientation: "As if women have not sold their votes, as if women politicians cannot be bought!"
I sin artikel "Woman Suffrage" förlöjligade hon idén att kvinnors inblandning skulle göra den demokratiska staten mer rättvis: "Som om kvinnor inte har sålt sina röster, som om kvinnliga politiker inte kan köpas!"
