More quotes by Susan B. Anthony
Better lose me than lose a state.
Susan B. Anthony
There is not the woman born who desires to eat the bread of dependence, no matter whether it be from the hand of father, husband, or brother for any one who does so eat her bread places herself in the power of the person from whom she takes it.
Susan B. Anthony

Join the union, girls, and together say Equal Pay for Equal Work.
Susan B. Anthony
Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation.
Susan B. Anthony
When society is rightly organized, the wife and mother will have time, wish and will to grow intellectually, and will know that the limits of her sphere, the extent of her duties, are prescribed only by the measure of her ability.
Susan B. Anthony
A republican government should be based on free and equal education among the people
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 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
There is not a woman born who desires to eat the bread of dependence.
Susan B. Anthony
The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world I am like a snowball - the further I am rolled the more I gain.
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
