Women have the right to mount the scaffold; they should likewise have the right to mount the rostrum.

Regardless of what barriers confront you, it is in your power to free yourselves; you have only to want to.

Woman is born free and lives equal to man in her rights. Social distinctions can be based only on the common utility.

Male and female citizens, being equal in the eyes of the law, must be equally admitted to all honors, positions, and public employment according to their capacity and without other distinctions besides those of their virtues and talents.

Women, wake up; the tocsin of reason sounds throughout the universe; recognize your rights.
