“Just as the world war is no white man’s war, but every man’s war, so is the struggle for woman suffrage no white woman’s struggle, but every woman’s struggle.”

The belief that we are defending the highest good of the mothers of our race and the ultimate welfare of society makes every sacrifice seem trivial, every duty a pleasure.

Parliaments have stopped laughing at woman suffrage, and politicians have begun to dodge! It is the inevitable premonition of coming victory.

The vote is the emblem of your equality, women of America, the guarantee of your liberty.

living for a high purpose is as honorable as dying for it.

Roll up your sleeves, set your mind to making history, and wage such a fight for liberty that the whole world will respect our sex.

There is one thing no people have ever done; that is, to oppose a threatening war with intelligent and vigorous purpose some years before it was due to arrive.

No written law has ever been more binding than unwritten custom supported by popular opinion.

White supremacy will be strengthened, not weakened, by women’s suffrage.

What is prejudice? An opinion, which is not based upon reason; a judgment, without having heard the argument; a feeling, without being able to trace from whence it came.

Service to a just cause rewards the worker with more real happiness and satisfaction than any other venture of life.

To the wrongs that need resistance, To the right that needs assistance, To the future in the distance, Give yourselves.

The vote is a power, a weapon of offense and defense, a prayer.

The vote has been costly. Prize it…understand what it means and what it can do for your country.

In the adjustment of the new order of things, we women demand an equal voice; we shall accept nothing less.

Feed me lies but later watch me breaking all the ties.

I have not yet spoken my last word about women. I believe that if a woman succeeds in withdrawing from the mass, or rather raising herself from above the mass, she grows ceaselessly and more than a man.

She wasn’t lost or found she was made.

The thunder does not apologize in fear of anyone, look at what that braveness does it trembles the whole sky.

No storm could ever stop her because she was one herself

No storm could ever stop her because she was one herself.

And they wrapped her in darkness until she became it – Lilith.

I would be nothing if not for the woman in my life for their quiet yet deafening resilient influence.
