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

There shall never be another season of silence until women have the same rights men have on this green earth.

Liberty, Humanity, Justice, Equality

To grant woman an equality with man in the affairs of life is contrary to every tradition, every precedent, every inheritance, every instinct and every teaching. The acceptance of this idea is possible only to those of especially progressive tendencies and a strong sense of justice, and it is yet too soon to expect these from the majority.

I don't want to die as long as I can work; the minute I can not, I want to go.

I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel...the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.

It is often asserted that as woman has always been man's slave--subject--inferior--dependent, under all forms of government and religion, slavery must be her normal condition. This might have some weight had not the vast majority of men also been enslaved for centuries to kings and popes, and orders of nobility, who, in the progress of civilization, have reached complete equality.
