Prohibition is a hard sounding word, worthless as a rallying cry, hard as a locked door or going to bed without your supper.

I want to leave something behind when I go; some small legacy of truth, some word that will shine in a dark place.

I am a believer in women, in their ability to do things and in their influence and power. Women set the standards for the world, and it is for us, women in Canada, to set the standards high.

Women had first to convince the world that they had souls and then that they had minds and then it came on to this matter of political entity and the end is not yet.

The greatest insult came at the marriage ceremony when the minister asked 'who giveth this woman,' and some brother, or father or other man, unblushingly said he did, as though it were entirely a commercial transaction between men.

Women who set a low value of themselves make life hard for all women.
