I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.

Woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself.

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world thinks of you stepping out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, work your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.

Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.

I was born a heretic. I always distrusted people who know so much about what God wants them to do to their fellows.

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.

Failure is Impossible

There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.
