True determination

Quoted in the programme of Her Naked Skin, the “suffragette play” now at the National Theatre:
Sir,
Everyone seems to agree upon the necessity of putting a stop to Suffragist outrages; but no one seems certain how to do so. There are two, and only two, ways in which this can be done. Both will be effectual.
1. Kill every woman in the United Kingdom.
2. Give women the vote.
Yours truly, Bertha Brewster

It’s a flawed play, but an absolutely gripping one: I’ve a review over on My London Your London.
