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

Establish democracy at home, based on human rights as superior to property rights. . . .

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.

You take people as far as they will go, not as far as you would like them to go.

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

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

If I had my life to live over, I would do it all again, but this time I would be nastier.
