Usually the suffragist is a member of the Social Democratic Party, allied to the International Socialist Party.

She is a suffragist because she is a Socialist, because woman suffrage, and, indeed, the full equalization of the laws governing men and women are a part of the Socialist platform in every country in the world.

The woman member of the Social Democratic party is not working primarily for woman suffrage.

She is working for a complete overturning of the present economic system, and she advocates _universal adult suffrage_ as a means of bringing about the social and economic changes demanded by the Socialists.
These German Socialist women are often very advanced spirits, who hold university degrees, who have entered the professions, and are generally emancipated from strictly conventional lives.

Others, in large numbers, belong to the intellectual proletarian classes.
