    I assert that the first, and fundamental right of every woman is to be allowed the free exercise of her own belief; and that free exercise is not allowed when she is in any way restrained either morally or intellectually.

    As one who strives a hill to climb,
    Who never climbed before:
    Who finds it in a little time,
    Grow every moment less sublime,
    And votes the thing a bore:
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
