Trust me that as I ignore all law to help the slave, so will I ignore it all to protect an enslaved woman.

[T]here never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.

I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.

The work of woman is not to lessen the severity or the certainty of the penalty for the violation of the moral law, but to prevent this violation by the removal of the causes which lead to it.

Woman must have a purse of her own, and how can this be so long as the law denies to the wife all right to both the individual and the joint earnings?

I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ask for the ballot for the Negro and not for the woman.
