Famous quotes containing the words stock and/or trades:

And my body laid in grave,
Ere a rusty stock o coal-black smith
My maidenhead should have.”

“The strongest reason why we ask for woman a voice in the government under which she lives; in the religion she is asked to believe; equality in social life, where she is the chief factor; a place in the trades and professions, where she may earn her bread, is because of her birthright to self-sovereignty; because, as an individual, she must rely on herself.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
