Suffrage poem, simple Googled the quotation with quotes around it.
LOC and http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Bistro/8066/ADMsuffrage.html
Are women people? A book of rhymes for suffrage times
by Alice Duer Miller:

Evolution
SAID Mr. Jones in 1910:
"Women, subject yourselves to men."
Nineteen-Eleven heard him quote:
"They rule the world without the vote."
By Nineteen-Twelve, he would submit
"When all the women wanted it."
By Nineteen-Thirteen, looking glum,
He said that it was bound to come.
This year I heard him say with pride:
"No reasons on the other side!"
By Nineteen-Fifteen, he'll insist
He's always been a suffragist.
And what is really stranger, too,
He'll think that what he says is true.
