More quotes by Victoria Woodhull
Political matters are developing so fast that we must not let a single thing slip without use.
Victoria Woodhull
All talk of women's rights is moonshine. Women have every right. They have only to exercise them.
Victoria Woodhull
Suffrage is a common right of citizenship. Women have the right of suffrage. Logically it cannot be escaped.
Victoria Woodhull
The sin of all time has been the exercise of assumed powers. This is the essence of tyranny.
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
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
Hundreds, thousands, aye, millions of human beings, men, women and children, wander the streets of our cities and the highways of our country, hungry, ragged and cold, vainly seeking in this land of plenty, where physical want should be unknown.
Victoria Woodhull
I do not intend to be made the scapegoat of sacrifice, to be offered up as a victim to society.

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
Woman's ability to earn money is better protection against the tyranny and brutality of men than her ability to vote.
Victoria Woodhull
I boldly entered the arena of business and exercised the rights I already possessed.
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
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 imagined that the priestly ceremony was perfect sanctification, and that the sin of sins was for either husband or wife to be false to that relation.
Victoria Woodhull
I believed that a husband must necessarily be an angel, impossible of corruption or contamination.
Victoria Woodhull
When I first saw the light of day on this planet, it seemed as if I had been rudely awakened from a death-like sleep.
Victoria Woodhull
It is extremely unfortunate that an editor's own life and practice should be notoriously at variance with his written principles.
Victoria Woodhull
there are scores of thousands of women who are denominated prostitutes, and who are supported by hundreds of thousands of men who should, for like reasons, also be denominated prostitutes, since what will change a woman into a prostitute must also necessarily change a man into the same.
Victoria Woodhull
I shall make it my business to take my chances in the matter of libel suits.
