Quotations

• The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made by millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.
  • Quoted in Anthony, Susan B., and Ida Husted Harper. History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, 1902.
