You are all aware that my private life has been pictured to the public by the press of the country with the intent to make people believe me to be a very bad woman.

The uses of government should be to foster, protect and promote the possession of equality.

Why is a woman to be treated differently? Woman suffrage will succeed, despite this miserable guerilla opposition.

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

One of the charges made against me is that I lived in the same house with my former husband, Dr. Woodhull, and my present husband, Col. Blood. The fact is a fact.

The wife who submits to sexual intercourse against her wishes or desires, virtually commits suicide; while the husband who compels it, commits murder.
