I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.

There is not a woman born who desires to eat the bread of dependence.

So long as State constitutions say that all may vote when twenty-one, save idiots, lunatics, convicts and women, you are brought down politically to the level of those others disfranchised.

I do not assume that woman is better than man. I do assume that she has a different way of looking at things.

A republican government should be based on free and equal education among the people

When society is rightly organized, the wife and mother will have time, wish and will to grow intellectually, and will know that the limits of her sphere, the extent of her duties, are prescribed only by the measure of her ability.

Women, we might as well be dogs baying the moon as petitioners without the right to vote!
