Extending over more than a century and including most nations of the globe, the cause of woman suffrage has been one of the great democratic forces in human history. ~ Ellen DuBois
Woman Suffrage quotes by Ellen DuBois
So long as State constitutions say that all may vote when twenty-one, save idiots, lunatics, convicts and women, you are brought down politically to the level of those others disfranchised. ~ Susan B. Anthony
Woman Suffrage quotes by Susan B. Anthony
Just as the world war is no white man's war, but every man's war, so is the struggle for woman suffrage no white woman's struggle, but every woman's struggle. ~ Carrie Chapman Catt
Woman Suffrage quotes by Carrie Chapman Catt
Do not stand in the way of the next step in human progress. No one living who reads the signs of the times but realizes that woman suffrage must come. We are working for the ballot as a matter of justice and as a step for human betterment. ~ Carrie Chapman Catt
Woman Suffrage quotes by Carrie Chapman Catt
Feminism differs from reform of any kind, even franchise reform. Feminists, I should say, are not reformers at all, but ratherintellectual biologists and psychologists. ~ Rheta Childe Dorr
Woman Suffrage quotes by Rheta Childe Dorr
The woman suffrage movement in the United States was a movement of the spirit of the Revolution which was striving to hold the nation to the ideals which won independence. ~ Carrie Chapman Catt
Woman Suffrage quotes by Carrie Chapman Catt
We fully believed, so soon as we saw that woman's suffrage was right, every one would soon see the same thing, and that in a year or two, at farthest, it would be granted. ~ Antoinette Brown Blackwell
Woman Suffrage quotes by Antoinette Brown Blackwell
Woman was the test, but not every woman seemed to qualify. Black women, of course, were virtually invisible within the protracted campaign for woman suffrage. As for white working-class women, the suffrage leaders were probably impressed at first by the organizing efforts and militancy of their working-class sisters. But as it turned out, the working women themselves did not enthusiastically embrace the cause of woman suffrage. ~ Angela Y. Davis
Woman Suffrage quotes by Angela Y. Davis
The import is not the kind of work woman does, but rather the quality of the work she furnishes. She can give suffrage or the ballot no new quality, nor can she receive anything from it that will enhance her own quality. Her development, her freedom, her independence, must come from and through herself. First, by asserting herself as a personality, and not as a sex commodity. Second, by refusing the right to anyone over her body; by refusing to bear children, unless she wants them; by refusing to be a servant to God, the State, society, the husband, the family, etc., by making her life simpler, but deeper and richer. That is, by trying to learn the meaning and substance of life in all its complexities, by freeing herself from the fear of public opinion and public condemnation. Only that, and not the ballot, will set woman free, will maker her a force hitherto unknown in the world, a force for real love, for peace, for harmony; a force of divine fire, of life-giving; a creator of free men and women.

from Woman Suffrage- 1910 ~ Emma Goldman
Woman Suffrage quotes by Emma Goldman
It may be said that because woman recognizes the awful toll she is made to pay to the Church, State, and the home, she wants suffrage to set herself free. That may be true of the few; the majority of suffragists repudiate utterly such blasphemy. On the contrary, they insist always that it is woman suffrage which will make her a better Christian and homekeeper, a staunch citizen of the State. Thus suffrage is only a means of strengthening the omnipotence of the very Gods that woman has served from time immemorial. ~ Emma Goldman
Woman Suffrage quotes by Emma Goldman
Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could. ~ Abigail Adams
Woman Suffrage quotes by Abigail Adams
American suffragist, speech "Is Woman Suffrage Progressing?" at Stockholm, Sweden Radicalism is a label that is always applied to people who are endeavoring to get freedom. ~ Marcus Garvey
Woman Suffrage quotes by Marcus Garvey
The "first woman judge" was a colorful figure whose activities inspired longer stories than the spare announcements that had followed the passage of the woman suffrage bill. ~ Taft Alfred Larson
Woman Suffrage quotes by Taft Alfred Larson
To-day women constitute the only class of sane people excluded from the franchise ... ~ Mary Corinna Putnam Jacobi
Woman Suffrage quotes by Mary Corinna Putnam Jacobi
Why is a woman to be treated differently? Woman suffrage will succeed, despite this miserable guerilla opposition. ~ Victoria Claflin Woodhull
Woman Suffrage quotes by Victoria Claflin Woodhull
Had I represented twenty thousand voters in Michigan, that political editor would not have known nor cared whether I was the oldest or the youngest daughter of Methuselah, or whether my bonnet came from the Ark or from Worth's. ~ Susan B. Anthony
Woman Suffrage quotes by Susan B. Anthony
[woman suffrage] has made little difference beyond doubling the number of voters. There is no woman's vote as such. They divide up just about as men do. ~ Alice Roosevelt Longworth
Woman Suffrage quotes by Alice Roosevelt Longworth
We are told it will be of no use for us to ask this measure of justice
that the ballot be given to the women of our new possessions upon the same terms as to the men
because we shall not get it. It is not our business whether we are going to get it; our business is to make the demand ... Ask for the whole loaf and take what you can get. ~ Susan B. Anthony
Woman Suffrage quotes by Susan B. Anthony
No community where more than one-half of the adults are disfranchised and otherwise incapacitated by law and custom, can be free from great vices. Purity is inconsistent with slavery. ~ Tennessee Celeste Claflin
Woman Suffrage quotes by Tennessee Celeste Claflin
I expect to do more work for woman suffrage in the next decade than ever before. ~ Susan B. Anthony
Woman Suffrage quotes by Susan B. Anthony
Woman suffrage is an unjust, unreasonable, unspiritual abnormality. It is a hard, undigested, tasteless, devitalized proposition. It is a half-fledged, unmusical, Promethean abomination. It is a quack bolus to reduce masculinity even by the obliteration of femininity. ~ John Boyle O'Reilly
Woman Suffrage quotes by John Boyle O'Reilly
As the saffron tints and crimson flushes of morn herald the coming day, so the social and political advancement which woman has already gained bears the promise of the rising of the full-orbed sun of emancipation. The result will be not to make home less happy, but society more holy. ~ Frances Harper
Woman Suffrage quotes by Frances Harper
All over this land women have no political existence. Laws pass over our heads that we can not unmake. Our property is taken fromus without our consent. The babes we bear in anguish and carry in our arms are not ours. ~ Lucy Stone
Woman Suffrage quotes by Lucy Stone
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. ~ Lucy Stone
Woman Suffrage quotes by Lucy Stone
A large portion of those who demand woman suffrage are persons who have not been trained to reason, and are chiefly guided by their generous sensibilities. ~ Catharine Beecher
Woman Suffrage quotes by Catharine Beecher
So then the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association merged to create the National American Woman Suffrage Association, which personally I think is rather a mouthful,' Adelaide said as she set down her wineglass.
'I'm sure others have much shorter terms,' the doctor said, sawing into his steak with more vigor than necessary.
'Such as?' Grace asked.
'There are plenty who just call us bitches, dear. ~ Mindy McGinnis
Woman Suffrage quotes by Mindy McGinnis
There is only the one like me, the companion man or woman, who can wake me from my torpor, set off the poetry, hurl me against the limits of the old desert for me to triumph over it. No other. Neither sky nor privileged earth, now things which set you to trembling.
Torch, I only waltz with that one. ~ Rene Char
Woman Suffrage quotes by Rene Char
Where is there a Woman, who having generously trusted her liberty with a husband, does not immediately find the spaniel metamorphosed into a tyger, or has not reason to envy the lesser misery of a bond-slave to a merciless tyrant? ~ Sophia Fermor
Woman Suffrage quotes by Sophia Fermor
The Dalai Lama says that the world will be saved by Western women. Not any women, perhaps not all women, but Burning Women. Women who have stepped out of silence and into the fullness of their power. Angry women who love the world and her creatures too much to let it be destroyed so thoughtlessly for a moment longer.

Burning Woman is the heart and soul of revolution – inner and outer. She burns for change, she dances in the fire of the old, all the while visioning and weaving the new. ~ Lucy H. Pearce
Woman Suffrage quotes by Lucy H. Pearce
Without modesty, woman is devoid of beauty and culture. Humility, purity of thought and manners, meekness, surrender to high ideals, sensitivity, sweetness of temper - the peculiar blend of all these qualities is modesty. It is the most invaluable of all jewels for women. ~ Sathya Sai Baba
Woman Suffrage quotes by Sathya Sai Baba
There was something fundamentally embarrassing about being a young woman ... [the] embarrassment of wanting to be more assured, more substantive, more whole, of moving to tap resources that simply weren't there. ~ Michelle Orange
Woman Suffrage quotes by Michelle Orange
She's your woman. Shield her heart and soul with your own." He turned to Grace. "He's your man, yours to support and keep strong when he's not able and when he doesn't know how. You take care of each other, and you do it right. Do it well. Be fair. ~ Cat Porter
Woman Suffrage quotes by Cat Porter
Woman [in the 14th century] was the Church's rival, the temptress, the distraction, the obstacle to holiness, the Devil's decoy. ~ Barbara Tuchman
Woman Suffrage quotes by Barbara Tuchman
What woman has ever stopped by a want of information? She felt. And despised him for not acting in accordance with her feelings. ~ John Le Carre
Woman Suffrage quotes by John Le Carre
This past Halloween girls across the country dressed up as Ronda Rousey. That's because she's an amazing, beautiful, and powerful woman. ~ Ronda Rousey
Woman Suffrage quotes by Ronda Rousey
But when his mistress for the time being was a woman in society, or at least one whose birth was not so lowly, nor her position is so irregular that he was unable to arrange for her reception in 'society,' then for her sake he would return to it, but only to the particular orbit in which she moved or into which he had drawn her. ~ Marcel Proust
Woman Suffrage quotes by Marcel Proust
No man, or woman, was ever cured of love by discovering the falseness of his or her lover. The living together for three long, rainy days in the country has done more to dispel love than all the perfidies in love that have ever been committed. ~ Arthur Helps
Woman Suffrage quotes by Arthur Helps
People say they 'find' love, as if it were an object hidden by a rock. But love takes many forms, and it is never the same for any man and woman. What people find then is a certain love. And [he] found a certain love with [her], a grateful love, a deep but quiet love, one that he knew, above all else, was irreplaceable. ~ Mitch Albom
Woman Suffrage quotes by Mitch Albom
As Frances Marion rose to accept the Academy Award for Screenwriting for her original story The Big House, she became the first woman writer to win an Oscar. Since 1917, she had been the highest-paid screenwriter in Hollywood - male or female - and was hailed as "the all-time best script and story writer the motion picture world has ever produced." Just forty and "as beautiful as the stars she wrote for," Frances was already credited with writing over one hundred produced films. ~ Cari Beauchamp
Woman Suffrage quotes by Cari Beauchamp
I read once that the best thing that can happen to a woman is to get her heart broken. Before that, she has no real sense of herself. No real sense of pain, because only in love does she know what it's like to find the one thing that gives her breath and then to lose it.
After that, she knows she can survive. No matter what relationships come and go, she can count on herself to pull through, and although it hurts, the break is necessary ~ Colleen Hoover
Woman Suffrage quotes by Colleen Hoover
I am not, anymore, a Christian, but I am lifted and opened by any space with prayer inside it. I didn't know why I was going, today, to stand in the long cool darkness of St. John of the Divine, but my body knew, as bodies do, what it wanted. I entered the oddly small door of the huge space, and walked without hesitating to the altar I hadn't consciously remembered, a national memorial for those who died of AIDS, marked by banners and placards. My heart melted, all at once, and I understood why I was there. Because the black current the masseuse had touched wanted, needed, to keep flowing. I'd needed to know I could go on, but I'd also been needing to collapse. Which is what I did, some timeless tear span of minutes sitting on the naked gray stone. A woman gave me the kind of paper napkins you get with an ice cream cone. It seemed to me the most genuine of gifts, made to a stranger: the recognition of how grief moves in the body, leaving us unable to breathe, helpless, except for each other. ~ Mark Doty
Woman Suffrage quotes by Mark Doty
Every man is made of clay and diamond, and no woman can nourish both. ~ Lawrence Durrell
Woman Suffrage quotes by Lawrence Durrell
'TV Guide' is smart to aim toward women. More women will go there to find out what's on - just like when guys won't ask for directions, a woman will break out the map. ~ Kate Flannery
Woman Suffrage quotes by Kate Flannery
My favorite film is "Meshes in the Afternoon," a short avant garde film directed by Maya Deren. This was the first film that I saw that was actually directed by a woman. ~ Chris Hegedus
Woman Suffrage quotes by Chris Hegedus
Wendy," Peter Pan continued in a voice that no woman has ever yet been able to resist, "Wendy, one girl is more use than twenty boys. ~ J.M. Barrie
Woman Suffrage quotes by J.M. Barrie
I once got a letter from a woman who told me she was 90. She said if she were 30 years younger, I would have had to watch out. I guess 60 seems really young when you're 90. She said she would eat me with a spoon. ~ David James Elliott
Woman Suffrage quotes by David James Elliott
A woman who rides a motorcycle is in tune with the universe, a candidate for high adventure. ~ Celestine Sibley
Woman Suffrage quotes by Celestine Sibley
The books were old
and well worn, the cover of one of them had nearly broken through in its
middle, and it was held together with a few threads. "Everything is so
dirty here," said K., shaking his head, and before he could pick the
books up the woman wiped some of the dust off with her apron. K. took
hold of the book that lay on top and threw it open, an indecent picture
appeared. A man and a woman sat naked on a sofa, the base intent of
whoever drew it was easy to see but he had been so grossly lacking in
skill that all that anyone could really make out were the man and the
woman who dominated the picture with their bodies, sitting in overly
upright postures that created a false perspective and made it difficult
for them to approach each other. K. didn't thumb through that book any
more, but just threw open the next one at its title page, it was a novel
with the title, What Grete Suffered from her Husband, Hans. "So this is
the sort of law book they study here," said K., "this is the sort of
person sitting in judgement over me. ~ Franz Kafka
Woman Suffrage quotes by Franz Kafka
I'm not a woman who often looks back. I measure actions by results, and peering into the past rarely yields any. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Woman Suffrage quotes by Karen Marie Moning
They're not tourists, either, they're nothing like the gawkers and brayers in a place like Times Square, but they don't live here, they live in Jersey or Westchester, they're burghers right out of seventeenth-century Amsterdam, they cross Broadway as if they fucking own it, they think they look rakish, they think they're creatures of the night, they have neighbors whom they consider burghers because they don't like driving in New York, because they'd rather stay home (right now, the woman in the fringed pashmina shawl, the one walking arm-in-arm with Cowboy Boots, explodes in laughter, a great smacking hoot of a laugh, a three-martinis laugh, audible for a block or so), while the residents of downtown Manhattan, the ones who survive the days here, walk more modestly, certainly more quietly, more like penitents, because it's almost impossible to maintain a sense of hubris when you live here, you're too constantly confronted by the rampant otherness of others; hubris is surely much more attainable when you've got a house and a lawn and an Audi, when you understand that at the end of the world you'll get a second's more existence because the bomb won't be aimed at you, the shock wave will take you out but you're not anybody's main target, you've removed yourself from the kill zone, no one gets shot where you live, no one gets stabbed by a random psychopath, the biggest threat to your personal, ongoing security is the possibility that the neighbor's son will break in and steal a ~ Michael Cunningham
Woman Suffrage quotes by Michael Cunningham
Her outer beauty is just a bonus, but it is her inner beauty that's most captivating. She's loving, caring, kindhearted, empathetic, and genuine. She's comfortable in her own skin, therefore, she's able to compliment, celebrate, and build up others around her. She's a quality Woman with a strong sense of self! She doesn't need the spotlight, because she is the light wherever she goes. Smart, confident, ambitious, and fearless… Beautifully created from the inside out. ~ Stephanie Lahart
Woman Suffrage quotes by Stephanie Lahart
Lacey, you don't understand." He felt weightless, benumbed. He had nothing to fight with, not even a blade. "We're totally unarmed. I've seen what he can do." "There are weapons more powerful than guns and knives," the woman replied. Her face held no fear, only a sense of purpose. "It is time for you to see it." "See what?" "What you came to find," said Lacey. "The Passage. ~ Justin Cronin
Woman Suffrage quotes by Justin Cronin
I will always remember my delight when Mrs. Georgia Gilmore - an unlettered woman of unusual intelligence - told how an operator demanded that she get off the bus after paying her fare and board it again by the back door, and then drove away before she could get there. She turned to Judge Carter and said: When they count the money, they do not know Negro money from white money. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Woman Suffrage quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Sadly, our society still perpetuates the false ideal that a real man should be all masculine, and a real woman all feminine. Neither is possible, nor desirable. ~ William Keepin
Woman Suffrage quotes by William Keepin
I am advising you in this matter not only as your chief of finance, but as a woman who would still be married to her husbands if they had looked at her the way you have looked at me here today. ~ Don DeLillo
Woman Suffrage quotes by Don DeLillo
A woman has got to be able to say, and not feel guilty,
'Who am I, and what do I want out of life?' She mustn't
feel selfish and neurotic if she wants goals of her own,
outside of husband and children. ~ Betty Friedan
Woman Suffrage quotes by Betty Friedan
If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune. We should be so well balanced and symmetrical, that nothing which could ever happen could throw us off our center, so that no matter what misfortune should overtake us, there would still be a whole magnificent man or woman left after being stripped of everything else. ~ Orison Swett Marden
Woman Suffrage quotes by Orison Swett Marden
Could search to the ends of the earth and never find another woman like you. ~ Denise Grover Swank
Woman Suffrage quotes by Denise Grover Swank
That sassy low classy, but dress real cheap-fly-n-fancy, with a chip on her shoulder
she's just a bitterly wounded dove, wanting to be sieged by love. ~ T.F. Hodge
Woman Suffrage quotes by T.F. Hodge
There is an instinct in a woman to love most her own child - and an instinct to make any child who needs her love, her own. ~ Robert Breault
Woman Suffrage quotes by Robert Breault
[To the mother of two unruly children in a restaurant after the woman said she really didn't know what to do with her children:] Have you tried infanticide? ~ Joan Crawford
Woman Suffrage quotes by Joan Crawford
Let's get one thing straight," I interrupt, jerking my arm out of his grip with such force that I nearly knock out the woman standing behind me. "You are not my father, I am not your responsibility, and I did not come here to have a list of my faults related from him or be condemned for who I associate with-not by you or that damned duke. So while it's been a jolly good time, being treated like a child all evening, I think I've just about had enough and I can make my own way from here. ~ Mackenzi Lee
Woman Suffrage quotes by Mackenzi Lee
A frown lowered his brow as he headed toward the shower, stripping as he went. She was untried. Virginal in mind and spirit. The innocence that hovered about her, disparate with her wily reporter persona, teased Adrian's senses like an aphrodisiac.
She wasn't the kind of woman who could give away sex without giving away her heart, and he liked that in her, that vulnerability. It was, at the very core, something new and different in his world. It also stood as a reminder of another time, when he believed in the wholesomeness, the rightness of desire. Desire earned and given freely, not bought, before he knew its worth could be meted out in paper currency.
She was hot-blooded and sensuous too, and didn't seem aware of it. It called to the primal male in him, made him restless and hungry to touch her. But tonight a deeper part of him had won out, preserved the strange wholesomeness between them and shielded it from the anomaly his lifestyle had become because of sex.
Maybe, at the very bottom of it, he knew a whore - even a high-priced one - didn't deserve a woman like Billie. She was reality, gritty and truthful and tangible. He…he was a phantom born out of Azure Elan's sensuous imagination. ~ Shelby Reed
Woman Suffrage quotes by Shelby Reed
It's not hate that you're seeing. Hate requires emotion. What this woman has simply done is realize that you are a rogga, and decide that you aren't a person, just like that. ~ N.K. Jemisin
Woman Suffrage quotes by N.K. Jemisin
