More quotes by Susan B. Anthony
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.
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
There is not a woman born who desires to eat the bread of dependence.
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
Inconsistency is the jewel of the American people.
Susan B. Anthony
Oh, if I could but live another century and see the fruition of all the work for women! There is so much yet to be done.

. . . 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
Our Job is not to make young women grateful. It is to make the ungrateful so they keep going. Gratitude never radicalized anybody
Susan B. Anthony
Wherever women gather together failure is impossible.
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
Independent bread gives independent morals: - while pecuniary dependence makes moral subserviency - So get money - get wealth
Susan B. Anthony
I can not imagine a God ... made happy by my getting down on my knees and calling him 'great'.
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
Had I represented twenty thousand voters in Michigan, that political editor would not have known nor cared whether I was the oldest or the youngest daughter of Methuselah, or whether my bonnet came from the Ark or from Worth's.
Susan B. Anthony
To no form of religion is woman indebted for one impulse of freedom.
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 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
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
