Why should we not pray to our mother who are in heaven, as well as to our father?

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.

I can see that "reap" and "deep," "prayers" and "bears," . . . do rhyme, and so I suppose it is a splendid effort, but if you had written it in plain prose, I could have understood it a great deal better and read it a great deal more easily.

For a people is only as great, as free, as lofty, as advanced as its women are free, noble and progressive.

Oh, if I could but live another century and see the fruition of all the work for women! There is so much yet to be done.

What words can express her [the white woman’s] humiliation when, at the close of this long conflict, the government which she had served so faithfully held her unworthy of a voice in its councils, while it recognized as the political superiors of all the noble women of the nation the negro men just emerged from slavery, and not only totally illiterate, but also densely ignorant of every public question.

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