Florence Fifer Bohrer talks to the League of Women Voters

"I am not unmindful of the high honor of having a place in this distinguished group. As the first woman member of the State Senate I have something of the feeling of a pioneer. So in behalf of the women I want to say that in entering political life we have no desire to run the government nor to displace the men but we do believe men and women working together can give better service than men alone or women alone."

— Florence Fifer Bohrer, First Caucus of Republican members of 54th Session of the Illinos General Assembly
