I expect some new phases of life this summer, and shall try to get the honey from each moment.

I was a woman before I was an abolitionist. I must speak for the women.

In Massachusetts, where properly qualified 'persons' were allowed to practice law, the Supreme Court decided that a woman was not a 'person,' and a special act of the legislature had to be passed before Miss Lelia Robinson could be admitted to the bar. But today women are lawyers.

I expect some new phases of life this summer, and shall try to get the honey from each moment.

The last speaker alluded to this movement as being that of a few disappointed women. From the first years to which my memory stretches, I have been a disappointed woman. I was disappointed when I came to seek a profession worthy an immortal being - every employment was closed to me, except those of the teacher, the seamstress, and the housekeeper. In education, in marriage, in religion, in everything, disappointment is the lot of woman. It shall be the business of my life to deepen this disappointment in every woman's heart until she bows down to it no longer.

Too much has already been said and written about women's sphere. Leave women, then, to find their sphere.

The road before us is shorter than the road behind.
