More quotes by 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 distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.
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
You would better educate ten women into the practice of liberal principles than to organize a thousand on a platform of intolerance and bigotry.
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

Susan B. Anthony
Gentlemen, no one objects to the husband being the head of the wife as Christ was the head of the church--to crucify himself whatwe object to is his crucifying his wife.
Susan B. Anthony
I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.
Susan B. Anthony
When society is rightly organized, the wife and mother will have time, wish and will to grow intellectually, and will know that the limits of her sphere, the extent of her duties, are prescribed only by the measure of her ability.
Susan B. Anthony
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.
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
Those of you who have the talent to do honor to poor womanhood, have all given yourself over to baby-making. . .
Susan B. Anthony
Forget conventionalisms forget what the world thinks of you stepping out of your place think your best thoughts, speak your best words, work your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.
Susan B. Anthony
Current creation has exiled the turning wheel, and the same law of advancement makes the lady of today an alternate lady from her grandma.
Susan B. Anthony
What an absurd notion that women have not intellectual and moral faculties sufficent for anything else but domestic concerns!
Susan B. Anthony
The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons?
Susan B. Anthony
... even I am growing accustomed to slavery so much so that I cease to think of its accursed influence and calmly eat from the hands of the bondman without being mindful that he is such. O, Slavery, hateful thing that thou art thus to blunt the keen edge of conscience!
Susan B. Anthony
Resolved, that the women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for discontent, rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776.
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
