I am persuaded that the rights of woman, like the rights of slaves, need only be examined to be understood and asserted.

The reason why women effect so little and are so shallow is because their aims are low, marriage is the prize for which they strive; if foiled in that they rarely rise above disappointment.

If the minds of women were enlightened and improved, the domestic work would be more frequently refreshed by intelligent conversation, a means of edification now deplorably neglected, for want of that cultivation which these intellectual advantages would confer.

An idea built the wall of separation between the sexes, and an idea will crumble it to dust.

The virtue of female slaves is wholly at the mercy of irresponsible tyrants, and women are bought and sold in our slave markets, to gratify the brutal lust of those who bear the name of Christians.

I know nothing of man's rights, or woman's rights; human rights are all that I recognize.

I want my sex to claim nothing from their brethren but what their brethren may justly claim from them.
