“We found nothing grand in the history of the Jews nor in the morals inculcated in the Pentateuch.... I know of no other books that so fully teach the subjection and degradation of woman.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Knowing I loved my books, he furnished me
From mine own library with volumes that
I prize above my dukedom.”
