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.

When a man says to me, 'Let us work together in the great cause you have undertaken, and let me be your companion and aid, for I admire you more than I have ever admired any other woman,' then I shall say, 'I am yours truly' but he must ask me to be his equal, not his slave.
