The Church is a terrible engine of oppression, especially as concerns woman

I shall not grow conservative with age.

All honor to the noble women that have devoted earnest lives to the intellectual needs of mankind!

Though woman needs the protection of one man against his whole sex, in pioneer life, in threading her way through a lonely forest, on the highway, or in the streets of the metropolis on a dark night, she sometimes needs, too, the protection of all men against this one.

We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone, unaided by the ruling powers. White labor and the freed black men had their champions, but where are ours?

Reformers who are always compromising, have not yet grasped the idea that truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.

When lions paint pictures men will not always be represented as conquerors. When women translate laws, constitutions, bibles and philosophies, man will not always be the declared heard of the church, the state, and the home.
