Quotes
“We hold these truths to be self-
evident: that all men and
women are created equal.”
“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.”
“It requires philosophy and
heroism to rise above the
opinion of the wise men of
all nations and races.”
“So long as women are
slaves, men will be
knaves.”
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
