“Morally a woman has a right to the free and entire development of every faculty which God has given her to be improved and used to His honor. Socially she has a right to the protection of equal laws; the right to labor with her hands the thing that is good; to select the kind of labor which is in harmony with her condition and her powers; to exist, if need be, by her labor, or to profit others by it if she choose. These are her rights, not more nor less than the rights of the man.” IfsMenNeedsKindHandsLawUsedGivenRightsConditionsHe ManDevelopmentHonorEqualLaborHarmonyProfitProtectionFacultyWomens RightsSelect Author:Anna Brownell Jameson
