Those of you who have the talent to do honor to poor womanhood, have all given yourself over to baby-making. . .

Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity an incident of life, not all of it. And the only possible way to accomplish this great change is to accord to women equal power in the making, shaping and controlling of the circumstances of life.

I expect to do more work for woman suffrage in the next decade than ever before.

There never seems to be any difficulty in stretching the laws and the constitution to fit any kind of a political deal, but when it is proposed to make some concession to women they loom up like an unscalable wall.
