More quotes by Susan B. Anthony
Join the union, girls, and together say Equal Pay for Equal Work.
Susan B. Anthony
Disfranchisement means inability to make, shape, or control one's own circumstances... . That is exactly the position of women in the world of work today they cannot choose.
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
To no form of religion is woman indebted for one impulse of freedom.
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
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
I can not imagine a God ... made happy by my getting down on my knees and calling him 'great'.
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
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
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
I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.
Susan B. Anthony
Suffrage is the pivotal right.
Susan B. Anthony
Many abolitionists have yet to learn the ABC of woman's rights.
Susan B. Anthony
Every woman should have a purse of her own.
Susan B. Anthony
Wherever women gather together failure is impossible.
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
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
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
Those of you who have the talent to do honor to poor womanhood, have all given yourself over to baby-making. . .
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.
Susan B. Anthony
