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
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.
