Famous quotes containing the word equality:
“You can’t protect women without handicapping them in competition with men. If you demand equality you must accept equality. Women can’t have it both ways.”
—Mary Bell-Richards. “Protective Legislation in England,” Equal Rights (October 3, 1925)
“Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
“I pray every single second of my life; not on my knees, but with my work. My prayer is to lift woman to equality with man. Work and worship are one with me. I can not imagine a God of the universe made happy by my getting down on my knees and calling him “great.””
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
