Protector General

Famous quotes containing the words protector and/or general:

“My profession brought me in contact with various minds. Earnest, serious discussion on the condition of woman enlivened my business room; failures of banks, no dividends from railroads, defalcations of all kinds, public and private, widows and orphans and unmarried women beggared by the dishonesty, or the mismanagement of men, were fruitful sources of conversation; confidence in man as a protector was evidently losing ground, and women were beginning to see that they must protect themselves.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)

“Even more important than the discovery of Columbus, which we are gathered together to celebrate, is the fact that the general government has just discovered women.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
