Famous quotes containing the word women:

    “Thus far women have been the mere echoes of men. Our laws and constitutions, our creeds and codes, and the customs of social life are all of masculine origin. The true woman is as yet a dream of the future. A just government, a humane religion, a pure social life await her coming.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    “... till women are more rationally educated, the progress of human virtue and improvement in knowledge must receive continual checks.”
    —Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)

    “A homely face and no figure have aided many women heavenward.”
    —Minna Antrim (1861–?)
