QUOTES

We need to feel the cheer and inspiration of meeting each other, we need to gain the courage and fresh life that comes from the mingling of congenial souls, of those working for the same ends.

"If laws are unjust, they must be continually broken until they are altered."

"...we are women, American women, as intensely interested in all that pertains to us as such as all other American women; we are not alienating or withdrawing, we are only coming to the front, willing to join any others in the same work and welcoming any others to join us."

We are justified in believing that the success of this movement for equality of the sexes means more progress toward equality of the races.

Too long have we been silent under unjust and unholy charges; we cannot expect to have them removed until we disprove them through ourselves.
