It has always been thought perfectly womanly to be a scrub- woman in the Legislature and to take care of the spittoons; that is entirely within the charmed circle of woman's sphere; but for women to occupy any of those official seats would be degrading.

You would better educate ten women into the practice of liberal principles than to organize a thousand on a platform of intolerance and bigotry.

No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her sex.

When will the men do something besides extend congratulations? I would rather have President Roosevelt say one word to Congress infavor of amending the Constitution to give women the suffrage than to praise me endlessly!

Independent bread gives independent morals: - while pecuniary dependence makes moral subserviency; - So get money - get wealth

This is rather different from the receptions I used to get fifty years ago. They threw things at me then but they were not roses.

It is perfectly right for a gentleman to say "ladies and gentlemen," but a lady should say, "gentlemen and ladies." You mention your friend's name before you do your own. I always feel like rebuking any woman who says, "ladies and gentlemen." It is a lack of good manners.
