From the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles:

"Deeds Not Words: Celebrating 100 Years of Women's Suffrage / “Hechos, no palabras”: Celebrando 100 años de sufragio femenino / “Những việc làm không thành lời”: Kỷ niệm 100 năm phụ nữ phải chịu đựng

Emmeline Pankhurst, the famously militant British suffragist, in 1903 coined the motto “Deeds Not Words” for the newly formed Women’s Social and Political Union. History proved that while rhetoric was the impetus for radical change, actions were needed to finalize steps toward ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. The suffragists were true revolutionaries, occasionally sacrificing their reputations and sometimes their freedom."
