What rights have women? ... [...

What rights have women? ... [they are] punished for breaking laws which they have no voice in making. All avenues to enterprise and honors are closed against them. If poor, they must drudge for a mere pittance if of the wealthy classes, they must be dressed dolls of fashion parlor puppets.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

Much is said about the burden...

Much is said about the burdens and responsibilities of married men. Responsibilities indeed there are, if they but felt them: but as to burdens what are they?

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

Do you not yet understand wha...

Do you not yet understand what has made woman what she is? Then see what the sickly taste and perverted judgment of man now admires in woman.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

In the laws of the land, she ...

In the laws of the land, she has no rights; in government she has no voice. And in spite of another principle recognized in this Republic, namely, that 'taxation without representation is tyranny,' she is taxed without being represented.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

But say some, would you expos...

But say some, would you expose woman to the contact of rough, rude, drinking, swearing, fighting men at the ballot box? What a humiliating confession lies in this plea for keeping woman in the background!

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

Agitate! Agitate! Ought to be...

Agitate! Agitate! Ought to be the motto of every reformer. Agitation is the opposite of stagnation - the one is life, the other death.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

In case of separation, why sh...

In case of separation, why should the children be taken from the protecting care of the mother? Who has a better right to them than she? How much do fathers generally do toward bringing them up?

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

Again, I shall be told that t...

Again, I shall be told that the law presumes the husband to be kind, affectionate, and ready to provide for and protect his wife. But what right, I ask, has the law to presume at all on the subject?

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

Cultivate the frontal portion...

Cultivate the frontal portion of her brain as much as that of man is cultivated, and she will stand his equal at least. Even now, where her mind has been called out at all, her intellect is as bright, as capacious, and as powerful as his.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

There is no reason against wo...

There is no reason against woman's elevation, but prejudices.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

But it will be said that the ...

But it will be said that the husband provides for the wife, or in other words, he feeds, clothes and shelters her! I wish I had the power to make every one before me fully realize the degradation contained in that idea.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

Fathers like to have children...

Fathers like to have children good-natured, well-behaved, and comfortable, but how to put them in that desirable condition is out of their philosophy.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

I know that some endeavor to ...

I know that some endeavor to throw the mantle of romance over the subject and treat woman like some ideal existence, not liable to the ills of life. Let those deal in fancy who have nothing better to deal in; we have to do with sober, sad realities, with stubborn facts.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

Emancipation from every kind ...

Emancipation from every kind of bondage is my principle. I go for recognition of human rights, without distinction of sect, party, sex, or color.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

It is an interesting and demonstrable fact, that all children are atheists and were religion not inculcated into their minds, they would remain so.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

If they are unsuccessful in married life, who suffers more the bitter consequences of poverty than the wife? But if successful, she has not a dollar to call her own.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

If you allow one single germ,...

If you allow one single germ, one single seed of slavery to remain in the soil of America... that germ will spring up, that noxious weed will thrive, and again stifle the growth, wither the leaves, blast the flowers and poison the fair fruits of freedom.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

She had her reward! - that re...

She had her reward! - that reward of which no enemie could deprive her, which no slanders could make less precious - the eternal reward of knowing that she had done her duty.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

When a man comes to me and tries to convince me that he is not a thief, then I take care of my coppers.

Ernestine Rose 67 quotes

even the best of constitution...

even the best of constitutions need sometimes to be amended and improved, for after all there is but one constitution which is infallible, but one constitution that ought to be held sacred, and that is the human constitution.
