Famous quotes by anna howard shaw:

    [When asked: ‘If women voted, would they not have to sit on juries?’:] Many women would be glad of a chance to sit on anything. There are women who stand up and wash six days in the week at 75 cents a day who would like to take a vacation and sit on a jury at $1.50.
