Enlightenment! The London School of Economics has just named a building after Emmeline Pankhurst.
From John Stuart Mill to Emmeline Pankhurst.
J. S. Mill: The gigantic "federation" albeit "unequal", that was the British empire "has the advantage, especially valuable at the present time, of adding to the moral influence, and weight in the councils of the world, of the Power which, of all in existence, best understands liberty—and whatever may have been its errors in the past, has attained the more of conscience and moral principle in its dealings with foreigners than any other great nation seems either to conceive as possible or recognise as desirable."
—Mill, Utilitarianism, London 1972 ed. p. 380
E. Pankhurst: "Some talk about the Empire and Imperialism as if it were something to decry and something to be ashamed of. [I]t is a great thing to be the inheritors of an Empire like ours ... great in territory, great in potential wealth...If we can only realise and use that potential wealth we can destroy thereby poverty, we can remove and destroy ignorance."
