[Woman Suffrage] COBB, W.F. Letters of A Commonwealth Man: Women and Brute Force. London: The Woman’s Press, 1912. Single leaflet front and verso, 5.5” x 8.5” inches. Open letter leaflet decrying the imprisonment of suffragettes Emmeline Pankhurst, Dr. Garrett Anderson, and Dr. Ethel Smyth: “”Mulieres and leones” is the cry to-day, and it comes from men who have grown rich by sweating women, by driving them into the streets; who love to have their wives as gaudy parasites, and have not sufficient imagination, or heart, or religion, to recognize that the cause for which they are torturing Mrs. Pankhurst is the same cause for which Jesus died [...] You have made a mistake, we say, in your time and your methods,but when we have had time to recover ourselves we shall all pay you our homage…” In very good condition. At the time that this description is being written, no copies are recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time.
