We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies, Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy, and patience. We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.
Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards, Julia Ward Howe, Maud Howe Elliott, Florence Marion Howe Hall (1970). “Julia Ward Howe, 1819-1910”
