There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.

Independence is happiness.

I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.

... women of the North, I ask you to rise up with earnest, honest purpose, and go forward in the way of right, fearlessly, as independent human beings, responsible to God alone for the discharge of every duty, for the faithful use of every gift, the good Father has given you. Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world will say, whether you are in your place or out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, do your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.

Better lose me than lose a state.

To think I have had more than 60 years of hard struggle for a little liberty, and then to die without it seems so cruel.

There shall never be another season of silence until women have the same rights men have on this green earth.
