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

All honor to the noble women that have devoted earnest lives to the intellectual needs of mankind!

Susan B. Anthony (1884)

When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit.

Women's degradation is in man's idea of his sexual rights. Our religion, laws, customs, are all founded on the belief that woman was made for man. Come what will, my whole soul rejoices in the truth that I have uttered.
