Queen Alexandra against suffrage

May 13, 1909

Queen Alexandra is against suffrage for women, according to a report in the New York Times. Her daughter, Princess Louise, opened the Women Nurses' Congress at Liverpool today, and gave a speech.
"I have a message for you from the Queen. She has the fullest sympathy with you in your work. She feels that this is the work which women can do. Some women nowadays try to be like men, but this is the thing that men can't do and it, therefore is here that we feel superior to anybody else."
