I expect to do more work for woman suffrage in the next decade than ever before.

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

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.

Trust me that as I ignore all law to help the slave, so will I ignore it all to protect an enslaved woman.

In your ordered verdict of guilty, you have trampled under foot every vital principle of our government. My natural rights, my civil rights, my political rights, my judicial rights are all alike ignored. Robbed of the fundamental privilege of citizenship, I am degraded from the status of a citizen to that of a subject; and not only myself individually, but all of my sex, are, by your honor's verdict, doomed to political subjection under this, so-called, form of government.

I can't say that the college-bred woman is the most contented woman. The broader her mind the more she understands the unequal conditions between men and women, the more she chafes under a government that tolerates it.

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.
