Famous quotes containing the words louise and/or hopkins:
“Sport inevitably creates deadness of feeling. No one could take pleasure in it who was sensitive to suffering; and therefore its pursuit by women is much more to be regretted than its pursuit by men, because women pursue much more violently and recklessly what they pursue at all.”
—Ouida [Marie Louise De La Ramée] (1839–1908)
“We ask not pardon for ourselves but justice for all American women.”
—Alison Low Turnbull Hopkins (1880–1951)
