I may be the first woman member of Congress, but I won’t be the last.

We're half the people; we should be half the Congress.

As a woman I can't go to war, and I refuse to send anyone else.

War is the slaughter of human beings, temporarily regarded as enemies, on as large a scale as possible.

I worked for suffrage for years, and got it. I've worked for peace for 55 years and haven't come close.

Men and women are like right and left hands: it doesn't make sense not to use both.

It is unconscionable that 10,000 boys have died in Vietnam. If 10,000 American women had mind enough they could end the war, if they were committed to the task, even if it meant going to jail.
