A wife should no more take her husband's name than he should hers. My name is my identity and must not be lost.

If a woman earned a dollar by scrubbing, her husband had a right to take the dollar and go and get drunk with it and beat her afterwards. It was his dollar.

But I do believe that a woman's truest place is in a home, with a husband and with children, and with large freedom, pecuniary freedom, personal freedom, and the right to vote.

The only time a wife listens to her husband is when he's asleep.

The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.

A good wife always forgives her husband when she's wrong.
