In 1912 a periodical favoring women’s suffrage called “The Vote: The Organ of the Women’s Freedom League” edited by Charlotte Despard published an editorial titled “The Great Conspiracy” which criticized the political system of the United Kingdom and argued that many people were being deceived and should learn the truth. The editorial contained a statement that was thematically related to the quotation under investigation: "The truth! But it is just the truth that cannot be known of the multitude, for truth is revolutionary." The exposition continued with a claim about the necessity of seeking truth: "Truth has to be sought—in tears, in sorrow, in desperate revolt; here a little and there a little gained, and when gained held against all comers for the sake of humanity and sometimes at the cost of life itself."
