Great Political Quote - Women in Politics
5/3/2007 at 4:02 PM
I found a great quote that anyone involved in politics should get a chuckle from. It's from Beatrice Brigden: Founding member of the CCF, social activist, labour leader and the first woman to run in the Federal riding of Brandon in the 1930 general election. She ran in a Winnipeg riding that she had no hope in winning but did so because none of the men in the CCF/Labour Party would do it. She commented:
"men won't run where there is no chance, while women are willing to run for principle."
