Sarah J. Hale: “A better time is coming. Women, capable of using their facilities for the improvement of society, will not much longer remain in the castle of indolence.

Anna Garlin Spencer: “The universal social pressure upon women to be all alike, and do all the same things, and to be content with identical restrictions, has resulted not only in terrible suffering in the lives of exceptional women, but also in the loss of unmeasured feminine values in special gifts.
