We Celebrate the Contributions Made by American Women!
We ask justice, we ask equality, we ask that all the civil and political rights that belong to citizens of the United States, be guaranteed to us and our daughters forever.
~ Susan B. Anthony, Declaration of Rights for Women, July 1876
The day will come when men will recognize woman as his peer, not only at the fireside, but in councils of the nation. Then, and not until then, will there be the perfect comradeship, the ideal union between the sexes that shall result in the highest development of the race.
~ Susan B. Anthony
Something which we think is impossible now is not impossible in another decade.

Act

Hope
If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.
~Abigail Adams
