Make the world better.
~ Lucy Stone
The widening of woman's sphere is to improve her lot. Let us do it and if the world scoff let it scoff-if it sneer let it sneer.
The idea of equal rights was in the air.
I think, with never-ending gratitude, that the young women of today do not and can never know at what price their right to free speech and to speak at all in public has been earned.
Henceforth the leaves of the tree of knowledge were for women, and for the healing of the nations.
Leave women to find their sphere.
Now 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.
But I do believe that a woman's truest place is in a home, with a husband and with children, and with large freedom, pecuniary freedom, personal freedom, and the right to vote.
