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
