Susan B. Anthony
... God allows the wheat and the tares to grow up together, andthe tares frequently get the start of the wheat and kill it out. The only difference between the wheat and human beings is that the latter have intellect and ought to combine and pull out the tares, root and branch.

Of all the old prejudices that cling to the hem of the woman's garments and persistently impede her progress, none holds faster than this. The idea that she owes service to a man instead of to herself, and that it is her highest duty to aid his development rather than her own, will be the last to die.
Susan B. Anthony

. . . 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

Susan B. Anthony
I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel...the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.
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
Join the union, girls, and together say Equal Pay for Equal Work.
Susan B. Anthony
... even if the right to vote brought to women no better work, no better pay, no better conditions in any way, she should have itfor her own self-respect and to compel man's respect for her.
Susan B. Anthony
It's too bad that our bodies wear out while our interests are just as strong as ever.
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 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
Why should we not pray to our mother who are in heaven, as well as to our father?
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
