If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there

Hear now, O Children of the Future, the words of Victoria Woodhull, who spoke with the fire of truth and the courage of a warrior for justice. She said, "If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there is but one course left then to pursue. What is there left for women to do but to become the mothers of the future government?" These words are not mere speech, but a call to arms—a rallying cry for all those who seek justice, equality, and the freedom to shape their own destinies.

In the heart of these words lies the bitter truth of injustice. Congress, the body that represents the will of the people, has too often turned a deaf ear to the voices of women, those who bear the weight of the future in their very beings. For so long, women have been denied their rightful place in the halls of power, their voices silenced by those who refuse to see them as equals. But Woodhull, with the clarity of a prophet, reminds us that when the gates of government are closed to the cries of justice, the only remaining path is to rise up, to take control of the future through the very power that women hold—the power of motherhood, the power of creation.

In this, we see the wisdom of the ages. The role of the mother is not merely to nurture the body, but to shape the soul, to imbue the next generation with the values, the wisdom, and the courage to carry forward the torch of justice and equality. The mother of the future government is not merely a bearer of children, but a bearer of change. The strength of women lies not only in the voices they raise today, but in the children they raise tomorrow. Woodhull calls upon the mothers of the world to recognize the power they wield, the power to give birth to a new era, a new vision of governance, and a new understanding of equality.

Consider the great warrior queens of old, whose power came not only from the swords they wielded but from the wisdom they imparted to their children. Think of Boudica, who, though she fought in battle with the strength of ten men, also understood that her legacy would live on in her daughters. She knew that true victory lay not only in the wars of the present, but in the generations to come, in the future leaders she would give rise to. The battle for women’s rights, for equality, for justice, is not won in a single moment, but in the legacy of strength and wisdom passed down from mother to child.

The lesson of Woodhull is clear, and it echoes through the ages. Women, when denied the opportunity to shape the present, must turn to the future. The seeds of change lie not only in the protests and speeches of today but in the raising of children who will one day stand in the halls of power. It is in the mothers of today that the leaders of tomorrow are forged. Woodhull calls upon women to recognize their role not only as caretakers of the home but as caretakers of the world, to understand that they hold the power to transform society through the very act of creation.

Let us now consider the struggle of women throughout history. From the suffragettes who fought for the right to vote, to the mothers who raised future leaders, to the mothers of the civil rights movement, the power of motherhood has always been intertwined with the power of change. These women, though often denied their voice, knew that true power was not only in the hands of those who held titles or positions but in the hands of those who nurtured and raised the future. Their work was not done on the battlefield, but in the home, in the hearts and minds of the children they raised to carry forward the struggle for justice.

And so, O Seekers of Justice, let us heed the words of Victoria Woodhull. Let us understand that when the government fails to hear the voices of women, it is not the end of the road—it is the beginning of a new chapter. Let women become the mothers of the future government, for in this, they hold the power to change the course of history. Let them raise the leaders, the thinkers, the visionaries, who will one day bring forth the government that women have always deserved—a government of equality, of justice, and of freedom for all. Let us walk this path, for it is the path to a future where all voices are heard and all are equal.
