My fellow friends, the time of violence is over. Our fellow country is at stake as World War One will soon begin. Some of you may say," But this is the right time that the government is worrying about war and so they will be weak!" We won't do that, we are after all British citizen and we won't let our country fall into another country’s hand. Hear me, my friend, it's time to let go of the past. Forget about the time where the government arrested you or force fed you like an animal, a psycho path. Forget about the time where they used the Cat and Mouse act on us. It's time for a new beginning. Let go off what had happened to your friends, your family and yourself and let’s go on a new path. This is when our own country, the country we have lived in since we were young, needs us the most. So what will we do, to be exact? We will stop our campaign of violence and support the government and its effort to war in every way we possibly can. My mother and I are recruiting women into munitions factories. Come on my fellow friends, the country needs you and we need you! This is our time to prove to the government that women can do things that men can do!

I think this action will be the turning point of your campaign. I congratulate your family for choosing the right direction and this will not only prove to the government that they can trust women but also I believe that you will get what you wanted. You have done the opposite to us. In our time, British was in war with France and instead of helping the government to provide clothes for soldiers, we did the opposite. We destroyed textile machines which slowed the production down. The action did more harm than good. We were even more hated by the government and they were determined to eliminate us. That was our failure; we have made the government opposed to us instead of persuading them to go on our side. Overall, I'm very happy and congratulate the Suffragettes to get rid of the past and overall aim.
