MacGregor's text:Defaced penny:
Thirty-three years before, Emmeline’s husband had drafted the first Women’s Suffrage Bill for Parliament, which was doing well in the House of Commons until the prime minister, William Gladstone, spoke out against it:
I have no fear lest the woman should encroach upon the power of the man. The
fear I have is, lest we should invite her unwittingly to trespass against the
delicacy, the purity, the refinement, the elevation of her own nature, which are
the present sources of its power.
By invoking the delicacy and refinement of women, Gladstone made a calculated appeal to traditional, repressive ideas of how a lady should behave.

What cultural shift does the penny represent?
Edward VII becoming less respected by society
Prime Minister William Gladstone realizing that his ideas about women were wrong
fewer people concerning themselves with obeying the law
women becoming more concerned with their rights and less concerned with acting “ladylike”

women becoming more concerned with their rights and less concerned with acting “ladylike”

Explanation:

just took it on edge

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
