Mrs.Bright's chief object in securing this bill, aside from establishing the right that every human being has to his own property, was to place married women on an even plane with widows and spinsters, thereby making them qualified voters.
The next day we went out to Barn Elms to visit Mr.and Mrs.Charles McLaren.

He was a member of Parliament, a Quaker by birth and education, and had sustained, to his uttermost ability, the suffrage movement.

His charming wife, the daughter of Mrs.Pochin, is worthy of the noble mother who was among the earliest leaders on that question--speaking and writing with ability, on all phases of the subject.

Barn Elms is a grand old estate, a few miles out of London.

It was the dairy farm of Queen Elizabeth, and was presented by her to Sir Francis Walsingham.
