THE FIRST SUFFRAGE SOCIETIES.
When in 1867 the first organized women's
suffrage societies came into existence they set
for themselves the task of securing parliament
tary majority in the House of Commons. BY
every available method of constitutional agtta

would finally triumph, and, strong in this be-
lief devoted their powers to the preSentment OF
