Warning to Suffragists

Alice Duer Miller

They must sacrifice their beauty Who would do their civic duty, Who the polling booth would enter, Who the ballot box would use;

As they drop their ballots in it Men and women in a minute, Lose their charm, the antis tell us, But — the men have less to lose.
