February 15, 1820 - March 13, 1906
An oligarchy of race, where the Saxon rules the African, might be endured; but this oligarchy of sex which makes father, brothers, husband, sons, the oligarchs over the mother and sisters, the wife and daughters of every household... carries discord and rebellion into every home of the nation.
No man is good enough to govern any woman without her consent.
Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.
There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.
I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.
Independence is happiness.

It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men.
Trust me that as I ignore all law to help the slave, so will I ignore it all to protect an enslaved woman.
