Why are women... so much more interesting to men than men are to women?

If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure - the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?

This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room.

The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.

The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.

We decided to focus on women because no one was singling them out.

Women have no government.

If women would today would rise en masse and demand their emancipation, the men would be compelled to grant it.

Let women issue a declaration of independence sexually, and absolutely refuse to cohabit with men until they are acknowledged as equals in everything, and the victory would be won in a single week.

Suffrage is a common right of citizenship. Women have the right of suffrage. Logically it cannot be escaped.

The women of the country have the power in their own hands, in spite of the law and the government being altogether of the male order.

If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there is but one course left then to pursue. What is there left for women to do but to become the mothers of the future government?

And I think maybe all women, if they just had a chance, would be romantic and believe in love and not sex. And men believe in sex and not love.

Make women rational creatures, and free citizens, and they will quickly become good wives; - that is, if men do not neglect the duties of husbands and fathers.

Children, I grant, should be innocent; but when the epithet is applied to men, or women, it is but a civil term for weakness.
