It is not easy to be a pioneer but oh, it is fascinating! I would not trade one moment, even the worst moment, for all the riches in the world.

When life follows the course of our desires, it is easy to be swept along without thought.

It is not easy to be a pioneer - but oh, it is fascinating!

The gross perversion and destruction of motherhood by the abortionist filled me with indignation, and awakened active antagonism. That the honorable term 'female physician' should be exclusively applied to those women who carried on this shocking trade seemed to me a horror. It was an utter degradation of what might and should become a noble position for women.

I must have something to engross my thoughts, some object in life which will fill this vacuum, and prevent this sad wearing away of the heart.

A blank wall of social and professional antagonism faces the woman.

I do not wish to give (women) a first place, still less a second one- but the complete freedom to take their true place, whatever it may be.
