I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.

No one can doubt that the sufferings of the sober, virtuous woman, in legal subjection to the mastership of a drunken, immoral husband and father over herself and children, not only from physical abuse, but from spiritual shame and humiliation, must be such as the man himself can not possibly comprehend.

For every betrayed woman, there is always the betrayer, man.

Trust me that as I ignore all law to help the slave, so will I ignore it all to protect an enslaved woman.

I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel.

No man is good enough to govern any woman without her consent.
