Note 32 — Chapter XVIII · NOVEMBER TO THE END OF 1908
Reading edition

U. who felt, however, that they could not condemn her for seeking to protect herself. She employed the whip as a protest, not against ejection, but against the unnecessary violence to which she herself and other women had been subjected.
