Victoria Woodhull
The wife who submits to sexual intercourse against her wishes or desires, virtually commits suicide while the husband who compels it, commits murder.
Victoria Woodhull
A reform in the system of criminal jurisprudence, by which the death penalty shall no longer be inflicted . . . and by which our so-called prisons shall be virtually transformed into vast reformatory workshops, from which the unfortunate may emerge to be useful members of society, instead of the alienated citizens they now are.
Victoria Woodhull
Denounce me for advocating freedom if you can, and I will bear your curse with a better resignation.
