What conclusion can you draw by connecting Hillquit's
quotation, with your knowledge of that the time?
Many were eloquent speakers, like Morris Hillquit, one of
the leaders of the Socialist party, who explained why

individually," he said. "They say to each of you that you
are lovable, but when you, lovable girls, are formed into a
bunch of lovable girls then you cease to be lovable."
-We Shall Not Be Moved,
