No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her sex.

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

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.

I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge all women to the practical recognition of the old Revolutionary maxim. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.

To be successful a person must attempt but one reform. By urging two, both are injured, as the average mind can grasp and assimilate but one idea at a time.

There have been others also just as true and devoted to the cause -- I wish I could name every one -- but with such women consecratingtheir lives, failure is impossible!

I have given my life and all I am to it, and now I want my last act to be to give it all I have, to the last cent.

The day will come when men will recognize woman as his peer, not only at the fireside, but in councils of the nation. Then, and not until then, will there be the perfect comradeship, the ideal union between the sexes that shall result in the highest development of the race.

An oligarchy of race, where the Saxon rules the African, might be endured; but this oligarchy of sex which makes father, brothers, husband, sons, the oligarchs over the mother and sisters, the wife and daughters of every household... carries discord and rebellion into every home of the nation.

Someone struggled for your right to vote. Use it.

It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. ... Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less.

Mr. Roosevelt, this is my principal request -- it is almost the last request I shall ever make of anybody. Before you leave the presidential chair, recommend Congress to submit to the Legislatures a Constitutional Amendment which will enfranchise women, and thus take your place in history with Lincoln, the great emancipator. I beg of you not to close your term of office without doing this.

Every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several States is today null and void, precisely as in every one against Negroes.

Women should have equal pay for equal work and they should be considered equally eligible to the offices of principal and superintendent, professor and president. So you must insist that qualifications, not sex, shall govern appointments and salaries.

Are you going to cater to the whims and prejudices of people? We draw out from other people our own thought. If, when you go out to organize, you go with a broad spirit, you will create and call out breadth and toleration. You had better organize one woman on a broad platform than 10,000 on a narrow platform of intolerance and bigotry.

There shall never be another season of silence until women have the same rights men have on this green earth.

The men and women of the North are slaveholders, those of the South slaveowners. The guilt rests on the North equally with the South.

I have known nothing the last thirty years save the struggle for human rights on this continent. If it had been a class of men whowere disfranchised and denied their legal rights, I believe I should have devoted my life precisely as I have done in behalf of my own sex.

The fact is, women are in chains, and their servitude is all the more debasing because they do not realize it.

She who succeeds in gaining the mastery of the bicycle will gain the mastery of life.
