Editing Henry George (section)

===Women's suffrage===
George was an important and vocal advocate of women's political rights. He argued for extending suffrage to women. George wrote, "The cause of woman suffrage is steadily, though slowly and quietly making progress in public opinion. In a large and ever widening circle the women who want to vote are no longer deemed masculine nor the men who would have them vote, effeminate. The goal has not been reached and may yet be far off, but since the first woman’s rights convention was held in the United States forty years ago, great advances have been made.."<ref>George, Henry, and Kenneth C.
