More quotes by Lucy Stone

I believe that the influence of woman will save the country before every other power.

Too much has already been said and written about "women's sphere". Leave women, then, to find their sphere.

The press, many-tongued, surpassed itself in reproaches upon these women who had so far departed from their sphere as to speak in public.

If I would be true to myself, true to my Heavenly Father, I must pursue that course of conduct which, to me, appears best calculated to promote the highest good of the world.

We believe in marriage for life, and deprecate all this loose, pestiferous talk in favor of easy divorce... Be not deceived — free love means free lust.
