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.

Sentiment never was and never can be a guarantee for justice.

Many abolitionists have yet to learn the ABC of woman's rights.

Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel. It gives a woman a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. It makes her feel as if she were independent... the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.

I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge all women to the practical recognition of the old Revolutionary maxim. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.

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.

No genuine equality, no real freedom, no true manhood or womanhood can exist on any foundation save that of pecuniary independence.
