Famous quotes containing the words electoral and/or history:

    “Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
    —Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
