I thought that the chief thing to be done in order to equal boys was to be learned and courageous. So I decided to study Greek and learn to manage a horse.
From Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Self-development is a higher duty than self-sacrifice.
Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility.
The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation.
Women of all classes are awakening to the necessity of self-support, but few are willing to do the ordinary useful work for which they are fitted.
We found nothing grand in the history of the Jews nor in the morals inculcated in the Pentateuch. I know of no other books that so fully teach the subjection and degradation of woman.
