Won Seats

Famous quotes containing the words won and/or seats:

    What then in love can woman do?
    If we grow fond they shun us.
    And when we fly them, they pursue:
    But leave us when they’ve won us.
    John Gay (1685–1732)

    It has always been thought perfectly womanly to be a scrub- woman in the Legislature and to take care of the spittoons; that is entirely within the charmed circle of woman’s sphere; but for women to occupy any of those official seats would be degrading.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
