Famous quotes containing the words frances e and/or willard:

    So close is the bond between man and woman that you can not raise one without lifting the other. The world can not move ahead without woman’s sharing in the movement, and to help give a right impetus to that movement is woman’s highest privilege.
    Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)

    In externals we advance with lightening express speed, in modes of thought and sympathy we lumber on in stage-coach fashion.
