Woman Suffrage Association

Famous quotes containing the words woman, suffrage and/or association:

    “If the heart of a man is deprest with cares,
    The mist is dispell’d when a woman appears;
    Like the notes of a fiddle, she sweetly, sweetly
    Raises the spirits, and charms our ears.”
    —John Gay (1685–1732)

    “An illustrious individual remarks that Mrs. [Elizabeth Cady] Stanton is the salt, Anna Dickinson the pepper, and Miss [Susan B.] Anthony the vinegar of the Female Suffrage movement. The very elements get the “white male” into a nice pickle.”
    —Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Revolution (August 19, 1869)

    “... a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our association than an atheist. When our platform becomes too narrow for people of all creeds and of no creeds, I myself cannot stand upon it.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
