“Women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, men are insultingly supporting their own superiority.”

“Strengthen the female mind by enlarging it, and there will be an end to blind obedience.”

“The more equality there is established among men, the more virtue and happiness will reign in society.”

“Let woman share the rights and she will emulate the virtues of man; for she must grow more perfect when emancipated.”

“Only that education deserves emphatically to be termed cultivation of the mind which teaches young people how to begin to think.”

“The beginning is always today.”

“Women do not want power over men, they want power over themselves.”
