The struggle for the vote was an effort to bring men to feel less superior and women to feel less inferior.

The vote is a power, a weapon of offense and defense, a prayer.

When a just cause reaches its flood-tide...whatever stands in its way must fall before its overwhelming force.

it was the United States which first established general suffrage for men upon the two principles that 'taxation without representation is tyranny' and that governments to be just should 'derive their consent from the governed.' The unanswerable logic of these two principles is responsible for the extension of suffrage to men and women the world over. In the United States, however, women are still taxed without 'representation' and still live under a government to which they have given no 'consent.

If we learn from the experience, there is no failure, only delayed victory.

Parliaments have stopped laughing at woman suffrage, and politicians have begun to dodge! It is the inevitable premonition of coming victory.

The woman suffrage movement in the United States was a movement of the spirit of the Revolution which was striving to hold the nation to the ideals which won independence.
