Thursday's Quote of the Day

Riska Schwimmer (1877-1948) was an advocate for women's rights and a pacifist as well. Those two went hand-in-hand pretty often (see Jeannette Rankin, for instance) and this quote hints at the connection:

"Women's right, men's rights-- human rights--
all are threatened by the ever-present spectre
of war so destructive now of human material
and moral values as to render victory
indistinguishable from defeat."
