It is very little to me to have the right to vote, to own property, etc., if I may not keep my body, and its uses, in my absolute right

The idea of equal rights was in the air.

Leave women to find their sphere.

Oh, I wish it were in my power to put men in the place of fashionable women for one six months! They should curl their hair, consult the milliner, make spongecake, do a little embroidery, wear long skirts, and dress so tightly that they could scarcely breathe.

Henceforth the leaves of the tree of knowledge were for women, and for the healing of the nations.

The widening of woman's sphere is to improve her lot. Let us do it, and if the world scoff, let it scoff if it sneer, let it sneer.

Now all we need is to continue to speak the truth fearlessly, and we shall add to our number those who will turn the scale to the side of equal and full justice in all things.
