“[…] Women should not be excluded from the field of public civic offices, and society should not tremble with fear at this expansion of the feminine element beyond the domestic walls. I hope that Butti’s conference will once and for all awaken in the mind of the legislator, the sociologist and the thinker a doubt that will perhaps one day, through the power of education, events and changes, be naturally resolved.”

From “Corriere di Gorizia” 26 August 1885.
