True Womanhood

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or womanhood:

    From Rumor’s tongues
    They bring smooth comforts false, worse than true wrongs.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    No genuine equality, no real freedom, no true manhood or womanhood can exist on any foundation save that of pecuniary independence. As a right over a man’s subsistence is a power over his moral being, so a right over a woman’s subsistence enslaves her will, degrades her pride and vitiates her whole moral nature.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1907)
