More quotes by 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
It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death but oh, thrice guilty is he who. . .drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime.
Susan B. Anthony
The anti-suffragist talk of sheltering women from the fierce storms of life is a lot of cant. I have no patience with it. These storms beat on woman just as fiercely as they do on man, and she is not trained to defend herself against them.
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
What an absurd notion that women have not intellectual and moral faculties sufficent for anything else but domestic concerns!
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
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.

Not one of our national officers ever has had a dollar of salary. I retire on full pay!
Susan B. Anthony
To no form of religion is woman indebted for one impulse of freedom.
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
I expect to do more work for woman suffrage in the next decade than ever before.
Susan B. Anthony
It's too bad that our bodies wear out while our interests are just as strong as ever.
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
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
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.
Susan B. Anthony
I deplore the horrible crime as child murder....no matter what the motive, love of ease, or desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent,the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed...but oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which compelled her to the crime.
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
... while one-half of the people of the United States are robbed of their inherent right of personal representation in this freestcountry on the face of the globe, it is idle for us to expect that the men who thus rob women will not rob each other as individuals, corporations and Government.
Susan B. Anthony
A woman growing up under American ideas of liberty in government and religion, having never blushed behind a Turkish mask, nor pressed her feet in Chinese shoes, cannot brook any disabilities based on sex alone, without a deep feeling of antagonism with the power that creates it.
Susan B. Anthony
