Today woman lawyers, though few in numbers compared to men, can be found throughout the fabric of the legal world.

That policy did not rend the structure of government to its foundations, as timid conservatism predicted; nor did woman's suffrage destroy the fabric of society; nor have direct primaries upset the balance of our political processes.
