Lillian Wald “The task of organizing human happiness needs the active cooperation of man and woman: it cannot be relegated to one half of the world. Women more than men can strip war of its glamour and its out-of-date heroisms and patriotisms, and see it as a demon of destruction and hideous wrong.”
