    “At the outstart of discussions of women’s intellectual attainments, it is well to remember how few are the men of the first rank.”
    —Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    “Personal rights, universally the same, demand a government framed on the ratio of the census: property demands a government framed on the ratio of owners and of owning.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Woman was originally the inventor, the manufacturer, the provider. She has allowed one office after another gradually to slip from her hand, until she retains, with loose grasp, only the so-called housekeeping.... Having thus given up one by one the occupations which required knowledge of materials and processes, and skill in using them ... she rightly feels that what’s left is mere deadening drudgery.”
    —Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
