No legal ceremony--no election of the woman--no penalty for the perfidy of the man--no law to compel him to do his duty, no compensation for the poor woman who is turned adrift like the girl of the street, penniless, to sell herself on the best possible terms. This is Divine marriage, or Moses and the Bible lie; and this is Bible divorce--putting away!

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

Is it fair to treat a woman worse than a man, and then revile her because she is a woman?

Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never bear an unwished-for child nor think of murdering one before its birth.

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

There are none so ignorant but they may be taught. So, too, are there none so unfortunate in their understanding of the true and high relation of the sexes as not to be amenable to the right kind of instruction.

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