Changing Memories: The Woman's Journal Quote

Boston National Historical Park

Transcript

All the same the battle is celebrated for the justice of the cause, which, because it was just, was triumphant. The woman suffrage battle is like that of Bunker Hill—not won to-day, but sure to be later. Meantime Bunker Hill monument is our monument.
