Anna Howard Shaw quotes about
war men two
And looking into the face of ... one dead man we see two dead, the man and the life of the woman who gave him birth; the life she wrought into his life! And looking into his dead face someone asks a woman, what does a woman know about war? What, what, friends in the face of a crime like that, what does man know about war?
marriage party justice
I care nothing for all the political parties in the world except as they stand for justice.
kings war pride
What is Americanism? Every one has a different answer. Some people say it is never to submit to the dictation of a King. Others say Americanism is the pride of liberty and the defence of an insult to the flag with their gore. When some half-developed person tramples on that flag, we should be ready to pour out the blood of the nation, they say.

men wages half
Around me I saw women overworked and underpaid, doing men's work at half men's wages, not because their work was inferior, but because they were women.
happiness morning desire
I wake up every morning with a great desire to live joyfully.
men trying breaking-down
God made a woman equal to a man, but He did not make a woman equal to a woman and a man. We usually try to do the work of a man and of a woman too; then we break down ...
thinking advice foxes
Think of submitting our measure to the advice of politicians! I would as soon submit the subject of the equality of a goose to a fox.
american-activist
If we ever get to the polls once, you will never get us home.
crossed shepherd threshold
Before I had crossed the threshold of my church I was made to realize that I was shepherd of a divided flock.
american-activist desirable either form
Now one of two things is true: Either a republic is a desirable form of government, or else it is not.
