I ask the rights to pursue happiness by having a voice in that government to which I am accountable.

I am a free lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please.

So after all I am a very promiscuous free lover. I want the love of you all, promiscuously.

By what right do you refuse to accept the vote of a citizen of the United States?

I come before you to declare that my sex are entitled to the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

there are scores of thousands of women who are denominated prostitutes, and who are supported by hundreds of thousands of men who should, for like reasons, also be denominated prostitutes, since what will change a woman into a prostitute must also necessarily change a man into the same.

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.
