"My sweet, you have done nothing. I love you, therefore I must feel
differently about the Cause. Why? Because I'm afraid of it for you.
Because these men have no consideration for you as a woman, because
they always make you take the greatest risks. It is always so in this
work. Look what happens to the women in Russia. When there is a
political 'Execution' there, nine times out of ten it is a woman who
throws the bomb. Look at the things they have done lately. At the
printing office we see all the anarchist journals, and the comrades get
news privately. The men do little in risking their lives compared to
the women, and some of them are so young. An article in '_Les temps
Nouveaux_' of last week said that, '_beside the men these young girls
are as artistes beside artisans_.' The last case was Sophia Pervesky.
She was arrested for being in charge of a secret printing-press.
Before the police seized her she nearly found time to put her lighted
cigarette down on a pile of explosives. They wounded her in two
places, threw her down, and stamped on her injuries.
