Mrs Banger Monologue from Press Cuttings

From Press Cuttings by Bernard Shaw

female · defiant · 1:00 min

What use is a vote? Men have the vote. (LADY CORINTHIA: And men are slaves.) What women need is the right to military service. Give me a well-mounted regiment of women with sabres, opposed to a regiment of men with votes. We shall see which will go down before the other. (rises) No: we have had enough of these gentle pretty creatures who merely talk and cross-examine ministers in police courts, and go to prison like sheep, and suffer and sacrifice themselves. This question must be solved by blood and iron, as was well said by Bismarck, whom I have reason to believe was a woman in disguise. (MITCHENER: Bismarck a woman?) All the really strong men of history have been disguised women. MITCHENER (remonstrating). My dear lady!
