. . . this oligarchy of sex, which makes fathers, brothers, husbands and sons, the oligarchs over the mother and sisters, the wife and daughters of every household - which ordains all men sovereigns, all women subjects, carries dissension, discord, and rebellion into every house of the nation.
Susan B. Anthony
It's too bad that our bodies wear out while our interests are just as strong as ever.
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.
