Make the world better.
LUCY STONEMake the world better.
LUCY STONEI was a woman before I was an abolitionist. I must speak for the women.
LUCY STONEA wife should no more take her husband’s name than he should hers. My name is my identity and must not be lost
LUCY STONEThe great majority of women are more intelligent, better educated, and far more moral than multitudes of men whose right to vote no man questions.
LUCY STONEIt is very little to me to have the right to vote, to own property, etc., if I may not keep my body, and its uses, in my absolute right
LUCY STONEI believe that the influence of woman will save the country before every other power.
LUCY STONEAll over this land women have no political existence. Laws pass over our heads that we can not unmake. Our property is taken from us without our consent. The babes we bear in anguish and carry in our arms are not ours.
LUCY STONENow all we need is to continue to speak the truth fearlessly, and we shall add to our number those who will turn the scale to the side of equal and full justice in all things.
LUCY STONEThe road before us is shorter than the road behind.
LUCY STONEIt is time we gave man faith in woman — and, still more, woman faith in herself.
LUCY STONEThe idea of equal rights was in the air.
LUCY STONEOur victory is sure to come, and I can endure anything but recreancy to principle.
LUCY STONEWe ask only for justice and equal rights-the right to vote, the right to our own earnings, equality before the law.
LUCY STONEIf a woman earned a dollar by scrubbing, her husband had a right to take the dollar and go and get drunk with it and beat her afterwards. It was his dollar.
LUCY STONEWe must be true to each other.
LUCY STONEI think God rarely gives to one man, or one set of men, more than one great moral victory to win.
