—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“It is perfectly right for a gentleman to say ‘ladies and gentlemen,’ but a lady should say, ‘gentlemen and ladies.’ You mention your friend’s name before you do your own. I always feel like rebuking any woman who says, ‘ladies and gentlemen.’ It is a lack of good manners.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“I can’t say that the college-bred woman is the most contented woman. The broader her mind the more she understands the unequal conditions between men and women, the more she chafes under a government that tolerates it.”
