There is something wrong with a government that makes women the legal property of their husbands. The whole system needs changing, but men will never make the changes. They have too much to lose.

I boldly entered the arena of business and exercised the rights I already possessed.

All talk of women's rights is moonshine. Women have every right. They have only to exercise them.

I do not intend to be made the scapegoat of sacrifice, to be offered up as a victim to society.

It must always be remembered that you can never do right until you are first free to do wrong; since the doing of a thing under compulsion is evidence neither of good nor bad intent; and if under compulsion, who shall decide what would be the substituted rule of action under full freedom?

I shall not change my course because those who assume to be better than I desire it.

I would like above any other place to go to Hartford. I want to face the conservatism there centered and compel it into decency.
