I and others of my sex find ourselves controlled by a form of government in the inauguration of which we had no voice.

My judges preach against free love openly, practice it secretly.

Woman, no less than man, can qualify herself for the more onerous occupations of life.

The will of the entire people is the true basis of republican government, and a free expression . . . by the public vote of all citizens, without distinctions of race, color, occupation, or sex, is the only means by which that will can be ascertained.

All that is good and commendable now existing would continue to exist if all marriage laws were repealed tomorrow . . .

A reform in the system of criminal jurisprudence, by which the death penalty shall no longer be inflicted . . . and by which our so-called prisons shall be virtually transformed into vast reformatory workshops, from which the unfortunate may emerge to be useful members of society, instead of the alienated citizens they now are.

Denounce me for advocating freedom if you can, and I will bear your curse with a better resignation.
