Elizabeth Cady Stanton Quotes Click here for Elizabeth Cady Stanton books Not For Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony "The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman."
"No matter how much women prefer to lean, to be protected and supported, nor how much men desire to have them do so, they must make the voyage of life alone, and for safety in an emergency they must know something of the laws of navigation." "Women's degradation is in man's idea of his sexual rights. Our religion, laws, customs, are all founded on the belief that woman was made for man. Come what will, my whole soul rejoices in the truth that I have uttered." "Women have crucified the Mary Wollstonecrafts, the Fanny Wrights, and the George Sands of all ages. Men mock us with the fact and say we are ever cruel to each other...If this present woman must be crucified, let men drive the spikes." "Our "pathway" is straight to the ballot box, with no variableness nor shadow of turning." "To deny political equality is to rob the ostracized of all self-respect; of credit in the market place; of recompense in the world of work; of a voice among those who make and administer the law; a choice in the jury before whom they are tried, and in the judge who decides their punishment." "All honor to
the noble women that have devoted earnest lives to the intellectual needs of
mankind!"
