Susan B. Anthony's Quotes - Serious, exemplary, inspiring thoughts of an American woman who fought for equality, women's rights, freedom of slaves

On June 18, 1873, Susan B. Anthony was fined $100 for trying to vote in the 1872 presidential election. Susan B. Anthony (born February 15, 1820, Adams, Massachusetts; died March 13, 1906, Rochester, New York) was a famous American social reformer and women's rights activist. Susan B. Anthony played an important role in the women's suffrage movement and the abolition of slavery. Born into a Quaker family committed to social equality, she collected many anti-slavery petitions at the age of 17. In 1856, she became the New York State agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society. She tirelessly worked throughout her life for equality.

Here are the quotes of the extremely militant woman Susan B. Some serious, exemplary, inspiring thoughts of Anthony

I do not trust those who know very well what God wants of them, for I have seen that it always coincides with their own wishes.

No self-respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party which ignores her sex.

Believe me that just as I would ignore all laws to help a slave, so I would ignore all laws to protect a slave woman.

She who succeeds in riding a bicycle has mastered life.

I tell you that woman should not depend on the protection of man, but she must be taught to protect herself and here I stand.

Beware! Beware! Men, always running around to maintain their reputation, can never bring about reform.

Men, their rights, nothing else; women, their rights, nothing else.

I have given my life and all that I have for it, and now I want my last act to be that I give all that I have, to the very last penny.

It was we, the people, not we, the white male citizens, nor we, the male citizens, but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it not to bestow the blessings of liberty, but to secure it; not for one half of ourselves and one half of our descendants, but for the whole people—women as well as men.

The day is drawing near when the whole world will recognize woman as the equal of man.

Organize, agitate, educate, must be our battle cry.

I think a girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own expenses should be as happy as any person on earth. The feeling of freedom and security is so sweet.

Women, we as petitioners without the right to vote may be like dogs barking at the moon!

The principle of self-government cannot be violated without penalty. This right of the individual is sacred, regardless of class, race, race, color, sex, or any other accident or incident of birth.

I do not demand equal pay for any woman, except women who do equal work of equal value. Hate to be pampered by your employers, let them understand that you are in their service not as woman, but as worker.

If women will not accept marriage with subordination, nor men will accept it without it, there is no alternative, can be. Women who would not be governed must live without marriage. And during this transitional period let single women make comfortable and attractive homes for themselves.

It is a sheer mockery to talk to women about the enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only instrument provided by this democratic-republican government, the ballot.

No one can doubt that the suffering of the sober, virtuous woman in the legal subjection of a drunken, immoral husband and father over herself and children, not only from physical abuse, but from spiritual shame and humiliation, must be such as man himself cannot possibly endure.

Modern invention has made the spinning wheel disappear, and the same law of progress makes the woman of today a different woman from her grandmother. As individuals, women are citizens and no State has the right to make any new law, or to enforce any old law, which would abridge their privileges or immunities. I stand up and rejoice every time I see a woman go by at the wheel.

While I can work I do not want to die; the moment I cannot work I want to go.

On thinking, I have struggled hard for over 60 years for a little freedom, and then how cruel it seems to die without it.

A woman should have her own purse, and how can this be so long as the law denies the wife the right to both individual and joint income?

If all the rich and all the churchmen sent their children to public schools they would feel obliged to concentrate their money on improving these schools until they attained the highest ideals.
