Why should men arrogate to themselves the right to regulate female purity?
If you want to play your part in the world's affairs, you must refuse to deck yourselves for pleasing man.
Contraceptives are an insult to womanhood.
For the courage of self-sacrifice, woman is any time superior to man, as I believe man is to woman for the courage of the brute.
My quarrel with the advocates of contraceptives lies in their taking for granted that ordinary mortals cannot exercise self-control.
I have mentally become a woman in order to steal into her heart.
I am the only one, whom you may find it hard to get rid of, for I have always counted myself as a woman.
Languages proclaim that woman is half of man, and by parity of reasoning, man is half of woman.
Marriage must cease to be a matter of arrangement made by parents for money.
Marriage is not an act of services. It is a comfort man or woman seeks for himself or herself.
Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?
A fearless woman who knows that her purity is her best shield can never be dishonoured.
The duty of motherhood, which the vast majority of woman will always undertake, requires the qualities which men need not possess.
The woman who knows and fulfils her duty realizes her dignified status.
