The women's suffrage movement is only the small edge of the wedge, if we allow women to vote it will mean the loss of social structure and the rise of every liberal cause under the sun. Women are well represented by their fathers, brothers, and husbands.
Winston Churchill
Image
Once I should have been, if not satisfied, partially, at least, contented with suffrage for the intelligent and those who have been soldiers now I am convinced that universal suffrage is demanded by sound policy and impartial justice.
Salmon P. Chase
Image
So firm did Nivea's determination become that she wrote in her diary that she would give up marriage in order to devote herself completely to the struggle for women's suffrage. She was not aware that such a sacrifice would not be necessary, and that she would marry a man for love who would back her up in her political goals.

In this point of the case the question is distinctly presented whether the people of the United States are to govern through representatives chosen by their unbiased suffrages or whether the money and power of a great corporation are to be secretly exerted to influence their judgment and control their decisions.
Andrew Jackson
Image
... while one-half of the people of the United States are robbed of their inherent right of personal representation in this freestcountry on the face of the globe, it is idle for us to expect that the men who thus rob women will not rob each other as individuals, corporations and Government.

... non-use of rights does not destroy them.
Matilda Joslyn Gage

All governments use force and all assert that they are founded on reason. In fact, whether universal suffrage prevails or not, it is always an oligarchy that governs, finding ways to give to'the will of the people'the expression which the few desire.
Vilfredo Pareto
Image
The alleged menace of universal suffrage having been avoided by the absolute suppression of the negro vote, the spirit of mob murder should have been satisfied and the butchery of negroes should have ceased.
Ida B. Wells
Image
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

To attach no importance to public opinion, is a proof that you do not merit its suffrage.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Just as the world war is no white man's war, but every man's war, so is the struggle for woman suffrage no white woman's struggle, but every woman's struggle.

Image
The vote is a power, a weapon of offense and defense, a prayer.

Had I represented twenty thousand voters in Michigan, that political editor would not have known nor cared whether I was the oldest or the youngest daughter of Methuselah, or whether my bonnet came from the Ark or from Worth's.
Susan B. Anthony

Universal suffrage is sound in principle. The radical element is right.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Image
Carry out the republican principle of universal suffrage, or strike it from your banners and substitute 'Freedom and Power to one half of society, and Submission and Slavery to the other.'
Ernestine Rose
Image
Because man and woman are the complement of one another, we need woman's thought in national affairs to make a safe and stable government.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Image
Socialists find me too far left Trotskyites not far enough ecologists say I am too happy eating foie gras, defending nuclear energy and GM plants feminists find I am not enough of a woman anarchists a petit-bourgeois who has sold out because I believe in universal suffrage.
