Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions- Seneca Falls Convention of 1848

“We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights”“

Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions- Seneca Falls Convention of 1848

“He has never permitted her exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise. He has compelled her submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice. He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men both natives and foreigners. He has made of her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead

Isn’t I a Woman? - Sojourner Truth, 1851

“I have ploughed, and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could hear me! And a’n’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man- when I could get it and bear de last as well!

If de fast woman God ever made was strong enough to turn de world upside down all alone, dese women togeddar ought to be able to turn it back and get it right side up again!

Speech before the Legislature Elizabeth Cady, Stanton, 1860

“We ask no more than the poor devils in the scripture asked, let us alone, in mercy let us take care of ourselves, our property, our children and our homes.

Constitutional Argument -Susan B. Anthony, 1873

“It is urged that the use of the masculine pronouns he, his and him in all the constiutio0ns and laws, is proof that only men were meant to be included in their provisions. If you insist on this version of thee letter of the law, we shall insist that you be consistent and accept the other horn of the dilemma, which would compel you to exempt women from taxation for the support the government and from penalties for the violation of laws”

Woman and the New Race-Margaret Sanger, 1920

“No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother”

Woman and the New Race-Margaret Sanger, 1920

“She goes through the vale of death alone, each time a babe is born. As it is the right neither of man nor the state to coerce her into this ordeal, so it is her right to decide whether she will endure it. Birth controls a woman’s problem. The quicker she accepts it as her and hers alone, the quicker will society respond to motherhood”

Woman as “Other”-Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex, 1953

“If we are to gain understanding, we must get out of these ruts; we must discard the vague notions of superiority, inferiority, equality which have hitherto corrupted every discussion of the subject and start afresh

The Problem That Has No Name-Betty Friedan, The Feminine Mystique, 1963- of the housewives of the 1950’s

“They learned that truly feminine women do not want careers, higher education, political rights- the independence and opportunities that the old-fashioned feminists fought for. Some women, in their forties and fifties, still remembered painfully giving up those dreams, but most of the younger women no longer even thought about them.

“No other road to fulfillment was offered to American women in the middle of the twentieth century”
