Famous quotes containing the word barton:
“If woman alone had suffered under these mistaken traditions [of women’s subordination], if she could have borne the evil by herself, it would have been less pitiful, but her brother man, in the laws he created and ignorantly worshipped, has suffered with her. He has lost her highest help; he has crippled the intelligence he needed; he has belittled the very source of his own being and dwarfed the image of his Maker.”

“... it has always proved that the grandeur of a nation was shown by the respect paid to woman.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
