Women are going to form a chain, a greater sisterhood than the world has ever known.
Nellie L. McClung
The economic dependence of women is perhaps the greatest injustice that has been done to us, and has worked the greatest injury to the race.
Nellie L. McClung
Chivalry is a poor substitute for justice, if one cannot have both. Chivalry is something like the icing on the cake, sweet but not nourishing.
Nellie L. McClung
The horse on the treadmill may be very discontented, but he is not disposed to tell his troubles, for he cannot stop to talk.
Nellie L. McClung
War is the antithesis of all our teaching. It breaks all the commandments it makes rich men poor, and strong men weak. It makes well men sick, and by it living men are changed to dead men.
