It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.

The Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, the constitutions of the several states, and the organic laws of the territories all alike propose to protect the people in the exercise of their God-given rights. Not one of them pretends to bestow rights.
Susan B. Anthony

Here, in this very first paragraph of the Declaration, is the assertion of the natural right of all to the ballot; for how can 'the consent of the governed' be given if the right to vote be denied?

“Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these.”
― Susan B. Anthony

“Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel…the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.”
― Susan B. Anthony

“Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world thinks of you stepping out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, work your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.”
― Susan B. Anthony

“It would be ridiculous to talk of male and female atmospheres, male and female springs or rains, male and female sunshine.... how much more ridiculous is it in relation to mind, to soul, to thought, where there is as undeniably no such thing as sex, to talk of male and female education and of male and female schools. [written with Elizabeth Cady Stanton]”
― Susan B. Anthony

“I don't want to die as long as I can work; the minute I can not, I want to go.”

The only chance women have for justice in this country is to violate the law, as I have done, and as I shall continue to do.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY, Kansas Leavenworth Times, Jul. 3, 1873



Another writer asserts that the tyranny of man over woman has its roots, after all, in his nobler feelings; his love, his chivalry, and his desire to protect woman in the barbarous periods of pillage, lust, and war. But wherever the roots may be traced, the results at this hour are equally disastrous to woman. Her best interests and happiness do not seem to have been consulted in the arrangements made for her protection. She has been bought and sold, caressed and crucified at the will and pleasure of her master.

I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.

When woman has a newspaper which fear and favor cannot touch, then it will be that she can freely write her own thoughts.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY, remarks to the Woman's Auxiliary Congress of the Public Press Congress, May 23, 1893

There is no history about which there is so much ignorance as this great movement for the establishment of equal political rights for women. I hope the twentieth century will see the triumph of our cause.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY, letter to the Editor of the Chicago Tribune, Dec. 20, 1900

It is often asserted that as woman has always been man's slave--subject--inferior--dependent, under all forms of government and religion, slavery must be her normal condition. This might have some weight had not the vast majority of men also been enslaved for centuries to kings and popes, and orders of nobility, who, in the progress of civilization, have reached complete equality.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY, introduction, History of Woman Suffrage

The Twentieth Century woman will occupy the position of perfect equality with man -- equal though not identical. She will have her opinions counted at the ballot-box on every question. She is equally interested in, and must share the advantages and disadvantages of, every custom and law alike with man; therefore, she will not be contented to accept conditions made for her by him. She will be granted her inherent right to a voice in saying on whom and for what purposes taxes shall be levied. She will not submit to be taxed to support war, and all its concomitant vices and crimes against humanity. She will be the equal factor in the making, as well as in the enduring, of all the conditions of the world's misery or happiness. In fine, she will not be a dependent but a help-mate in the home, the church and the state.

same rights as men"

SUSAN B. ANTHONY, letter to the Editor of the Boston Post, Dec. 20, 1900

We have known how to make the noise, you see, and how to bring the whole world to our organization in spirit, if not in person. I would philosophize on the reason why. It is because women have been taught always to work for something else than their own personal freedom; and the hardest thing in the world is to organize women for the one purpose of securing their political liberty and political equality. It is easy to congregate thousands and hundreds of thousands of women to try to stay the tide of intemperance; to try to elevate the morals of a community; to try to educate the masses of people; to try to relieve the poverty of the miserable; but it is a very difficult thing to make the masses of women, any more than the masses of men, congregate in great numbers to study the cause of all the ills of which they complain, and to organize for the removal of that cause; to organize for the establishment of great principles that will be sure to bring about the results which they so much desire.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY, speech to the World's Congress of Representative Women, May 20, 1893
