A FEW QUOTES:

"Men their rights and nothing more; women their rights and nothing less."

"The fact is, women are in chains, and their servitude is all the more debasing because they do not realize it."

"I can't say that the college-bred woman is the most contented woman. The broader her mind the more she understands the unequal conditions between men and women, the more she shafes under a government that tolerates it."
