Appendix
Stump Speech delivered by Midge Ridgway in the early 1930’s
I would have got here sooner, brethren and sisters, had I got here sooner. I left orders with the chamber maid to wake me early but she made a mistake and woke up the wrong woman; consequently I was half way here before I discovered I was the wrong woman and I had to go back and wake myself up.
The question is - the great question is - what are we coming to? Many people imagine that my lectures don’t amount to much. But maybe they don’t. Lots of people are coming to my lectures. And there’s millions that don’t come.
Lots of young men start out to be president of the US. I had a brother who started but he finished in Sing Sing. And he thinks that one term is enough, which some presidents don’t.
If you want to accomplish anything in this life you must have patience. So does a doctor. Then people say my lectures don’t amount to anything. But maybe they don’t.
I tell you, sisters, we women must have our rights in this country. I was riding in a street car the other day. The car was crowded and I had to hang on a strap. I clung to that strap for an hour. Finally I said to a great big husky man, who was, of course, sitting down. “My good fellow” I said to him, “Why don’t you get up and give your seat to a lady?” He says; - “My good woman do you believe in women’s rights?” “I certainly do”, I thundered. “Then”, says he, “If you believe in women's rights, stand up like a man”.
And I did.
And they say my lectures don’t amount to much. But maybe they don’t.
Why, there ain’t anything a woman can’t do. Give her a hairpin and a man and she can do anything with them - especially the man.
A woman can eat two pounds of chocolate creams, and live to tell about it. Show me the man that can stow away one-fifth that amount and keep on his feet. A woman can fight her way to a bargain counter, and stay there until she gets her fingers on a paper of pins. Is a man capable of a feat like that? No. A thousand times no. A man would faint at the sight of a bargain counter battle.
That proves that a woman is the stronger of the two sexes.
As the immortal Shakespeare once said “sic tempus vitas, meno mino, hoc the Kaiser, sic’em Towser, e-pluribust-onion!”
And then they say my lectures don’t amount to anything. But maybe they don’t.
Oh, my benumbed hearers, listen to me. Open wide your listeners that I may pour the awe inspiring truth into them. (Pause) What was I talking about? (Thinks) Oh yes - women. That’s right. One woman can always find something to talk about, even if it’s only another woman.
But where would man be today if it wasn’t for women? I ask you. Where would he be? Ask me. I can tell you. Man is only an educated animal, and woman is his trainer; and if it wasn’t for his trainers man would be in a menagerie, and children would be throwing peanuts to him. What makes women marry?
It’s the men, ain't it? Of course. It’s always the men that cause all the trouble. And still they say my lectures don’t amount to anything. Maybe they don’t.
Intemperance is another topic which must command our interest. The men claim that women drive them to drink. Drive them indeed! Why men are walking to their drinks everyday.
What we want, sisters, is a chance to spend all the money a man earns. As the matter now stands man spends seven-eighths of his salary for moonshine and tobacco. What we want is that seven-eighties and the other nineteen-elevenths as well. All statistics not with standing to the contrary thereof heretofore spoken of thereto. We women need the money. Or in the slang language of the day “We need the dough”. But most of us knead the dough in the kitchen, and that’s where we get it - in the kitchen.
Sisters we are slaves of men. They grumble at everything we do. They won’t let us choose their clothing. They pick their own clothes. And then they growl at us if we attempt to (pick their pockets) when they are asleep.
And still they say my lectures don’t amount to anything. But maybe they don’t.
Away with the shackles! Break the irons which fetter us, sisters, and let us be free!
What do we need of the men? I know of a case where a man proposed to a woman a short time ago. He was out of work and he had to do something. The woman said to him “What do I want with a husband?” I have a parrot that swears, a cat that stays out all night, and a gardener who smokes.”
And still they say my lectures don’t amount to anything. But maybe they don’t.
Now that women are allowed to vote and hold offices just the same as the men, we’re going to make a paradise on this earth.
We’ve done away with all the saloons and turned them into drug stores. Our streets will be sprinkled with Florida water. We’ll serve tea and biscuits in our city halls and bring our sewing and mending to the council meetings.
We’ll use the fire engine to bake our bread in. And our jails: Say if us women were policemen and jailors; every man in the country would be a criminal.
If more women would be doctors, look at the men who’d be sick on short notice. They'd be tickled to death to be sick just so they could have some pretty female doctor holding their hands and feeling their pulses. But we’d have to draw the line on the occupations women would follow. She would never make a good letter carrier nor a preacher. If woman was a letter carrier the US Government would object. She’d interfere too much with the males. If she was a preacher, what would be the result?. She would forget to go ahead with the ceremony when the bride came in to the church. She’d be too much interested in what the bride was wearing to ever speak a word. And if the bride happened to be a rival for the affections of the same man - it would be all off.
A woman preacher would never marry her to a man she was herself in love with.
No sisters, we have our limitations.
And still they say that my lectures don’t amount to anything.
But maybe they don’t.
