White men have always controlled their wives' wages. Colored men were not able to do so until they themselves became free. Then they owned both their wives and their wages.

More quotes by Susan B. Anthony
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.
Susan B. Anthony
I expect to do more work for woman suffrage in the next decade than ever before.
Susan B. Anthony
When woman has a newspaper which fear and favor cannot touch, then it will be that she can freely write her own thoughts.
Susan B. Anthony
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.
Susan B. Anthony
Sentiment never was and never can be a guarantee for justice.
Susan B. Anthony
So long as State constitutions say that all may vote when twenty-one, save idiots, lunatics, convicts and women, you are brought down politically to the level of those others disfranchised.
Susan B. Anthony
There is not a woman born who desires to eat the bread of dependence.
Susan B. Anthony
What you should say to outsiders is that a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our Association than an atheist. When our platform becomes too narrow for people of all creeds and of no creeds, I myself shall not stand upon it.
Susan B. Anthony
Disfranchisement means inability to make, shape, or control one's own circumstances... . That is exactly the position of women in the world of work today they cannot choose.
Susan B. Anthony
I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel...the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.
Susan B. Anthony
Modern invention has banished the spinning wheel, and the same law of progress makes the woman of today a different woman from her grandmother.
Susan B. Anthony
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
Susan B. Anthony
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.
Susan B. Anthony
Many abolitionists have yet to learn the ABC of woman's rights.
Susan B. Anthony
If a man's public record be a clear one, if he has kept his pledges before the world, I do not inquire what his private life may have been.
Susan B. Anthony
Of all the old prejudices that cling to the hem of the woman's garments and persistently impede her progress, none holds faster than this. The idea that she owes service to a man instead of to herself, and that it is her highest duty to aid his development rather than her own, will be the last to die.
Susan B. Anthony
... we should be miserable but for the consciousness that we have done all in our power to help forward every measure for the freedom and equality of the races and the sexes.
Susan B. Anthony
Suffrage is the pivotal right.
Susan B. Anthony
The worst enemy women have is in the pulpit.
Susan B. Anthony
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.
Susan B. Anthony
