It has always been thought perfectly womanly to be a scrub- woman in the Legislature and to take care of the spittoons that is entirely within the charmed circle of woman's sphere but for women to occupy any of those official seats would be degrading.
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
