QUOTES

"The women of this country ought be enlightened in regard to the laws under which they live, that they may no longer publish their degradation by declaring themselves satisfied with their present position, nor their ignorance, by asserting that they have all the rights they want."

"Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility."

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal.
