I can not say that I think you are very generous to the Ladies, for whilst you are proclaiming peace and good will to Men, Emancipating all Nations, you insist upon retaining an absolute power over Wives.

The true Republic: men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less.

Disfranchisement means inability to make, shape, or control one's own circumstances... . That is exactly the position of women in the world of work today; they cannot choose.

There will never be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.

No genuine equality, no real freedom, no true manhood or womanhood can exist on any foundation save that of pecuniary independence.

Whichever way I turn, whatever phase of social life presents itself, the same conviction comes: Independent bread alone can redeem woman from her curse of subjection to man.

Society, being codified by man, decrees that woman is inferior; she can do away with this inferiority only by destroying the male's superiority.

Who knows what women can be when they are finally free to become themselves?

There is no hope even that woman, with her right to vote, will ever purify politics.

True, the movement for women's rights has broken many old fetters, but it has also forged new ones.
