“Let us have a fair field! This is all we ask, and we will be content with nothing less. The finger of evolution, which touches everything, is laid tenderly upon women. They have on their side all the elements of progress, and its spirit stirs within them. They are fighting, not for themselves alone, but for the future of humanity. Let them have a fair field!”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)

—Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Revolution (August 19, 1869)
“In spite of all their kind some elements of worth
With difficulty persist here and there on earth.”
