More quotes by Victoria Woodhull
There is something wrong with a government that makes women the legal property of their husbands. The whole system needs changing, but men will never make the changes. They have too much to lose.
Victoria Woodhull
Strike as much and as hard as you please, only don't do it in the dark so that I cannot know who is my enemy.
Victoria Woodhull
No man who respects his mother or loves his sister, can speak disparagingly of any woman however low she may seem to have sunk, she is still a woman. I want every man to remember this. Every woman is, or, at some time, has been a sister or daughter.
Victoria Woodhull
There are none so ignorant but they may be taught. So, too, are there none so unfortunate in their understanding of the true and high relation of the sexes as not to be amenable to the right kind of instruction.

Victoria Woodhull
I believe in Spiritualism I advocate free love in the highest, purest sense, as the only cure for the damnation by which men corrupt God's most holy institution of sexual relations.
Victoria Woodhull
It must always be remembered that you can never do right until you are first free to do wrong since the doing of a thing under compulsion is evidence neither of good nor bad intent and if under compulsion, who shall decide what would be the substituted rule of action under full freedom?
Victoria Woodhull
I know that my companions from the moment of birth were heaven's choicest souls. I grew side by side with them, in fact all the education and inspiration came over them.
Victoria Woodhull
I boldly entered the arena of business and exercised the rights I already possessed.
Victoria Woodhull
To go behind a man's hall-door is mean, cowardly, unfair opposition.
Victoria Woodhull
The women of the country have the power in their own hands, in spite of the law and the government being altogether of the male order.
Victoria Woodhull
Suffrage is a common right of citizenship. Women have the right of suffrage. Logically it cannot be escaped.
Victoria Woodhull
The rights of children as individuals begin while yet they remain the foetus...Whoever has read the 'Weekly' knows I hold abortion (except to save the life of the mother) to be just as much murder as the killing of a person after birth is murder.
Victoria Woodhull
I do not intend to be made the scapegoat of sacrifice, to be offered up as a victim to society.
Victoria Woodhull
If women would today would rise en masse and demand their emancipation, the men would be compelled to grant it.
