Susan B Anthony Quotes

“From "Not For Ourselves Alone:"

In Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s time:


Women were barred by custom from the pulpit and professions

Those who spoke in public were thought indecent

Married women were prohibited from owning or inheriting property: in fact, wives were the property of their husbands, who were entitled by law to her wages and her body.

Women were prohibited from signing contracts

Women had no right to their children or even their clothing in a divorce

Women were not allowed to serve on juries and most were considered incompetent to testify.

Women were not allowed to VOTE.”
