We will try to prove otherwise." They closely followed the suffragette rights movement in England in terms of educational rights, political rights and the fight for the right to live.Miss İsmet Hakkı said to Demet magazine in 1908: "The intensity and constancy of the suffragettes in Britain is so great. Doesn't this show us directly that woman are, just like men, progressive and able to rise higher?"In 1911, Miss Fatma Nesibe talked in the White Conferences, which were participated only by women, saying, "Ladies, be sure that we will not stay like this. One day, one great day, we will see that everything we saw higher and were afraid of will crawl beneath the ground we step on; all of this is a delusion of smoke; it will break and end. Pay attention that all around the world, we are the start of a revolution. Be sure that this reform will not be bloody and savage like a man's revolution. On the contrary, it will be decent and relatively quiet, yet it will surely be efficient. Believe in this, ladies!"
