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.

Roll up your sleeves, set your mind to making history, and wage such a fight for liberty that the whole world will respect our sex.

What is prejudice? An opinion, which is not based upon reason; a judgment, without having heard the argument; a feeling, without being able to trace from whence it came.

The vote has been costly. Prize it...understand what it means and what it can do for your country.

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