Feminism is a rebellion against the ruthless tyranny of the male, an attempt to dethrone his autocratic rule and revert to a more natural sexual equality.

More quotes by Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaff

You, Beloved, are the silvery lake shimmering in the desert of my youth.

The Book of Love (1917)

Love,—the shining goal
Of every human soul.

That vast, beneficent Eternity
Where all things lovely pass to when they die.

There is a little place in me
That cries like any child,
To be as forest things are, free,
Lonely, and strange and wild!

I shall go smiling
Into the great beyond,
Looking upon the silence as release,
Looking upon the darkness as a dream,
Looking upon the deep unknown as rest.
