    The True Republic—Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    We arrived in New York, by rail, the day before Christmas. Everything looked bright and gay in our streets. It seemed to me that the sky was clearer, the air more refreshing, and the sunlight more brilliant than in any other land!

    Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
