“It seems like I always had to work harder than other people. Those nights when everybody else is asleep, and you sit in your room trying to play scales.

“Few countries have produced such arrogance and snobbishness as America. Particularly is this true of the American woman of the middle class. She not only considers herself the equal of man, but his superior, especially in her purity, goodness, and morality. Small wonder that the American suffragist claims for her vote the most miraculous powers. In her exalted conceit she does not see how truly enslaved she is, not so much by man, as by her own silly notions and traditions. Suffrage can not ameliorate that sad fact; it can only accentuate it, as indeed it does.” MenDoeCountryFactsAmericaWonderClassMiddleMoralityEqualGoodnessTraditionVoteClaimsNotionSillySuperiorsArrogancePurityMiddle ClassCan NotMiraculousConceitExaltedSuffrageAmerican WomanAccentuateSuffragistsSnobbishness Book:Anarchy and the Sex Question: Essays on Women and Emancipation, 1896–1926 Source: Anarchy and the Sex Question: Essays on Women and Emancipation, 1896–1926
“The history of woman is the history of the continued and universal oppression of one sex by the other. The emancipation of woman is her restoration to equal rights and privileges with man.... Need we wonder, then, at the sad spectacle which humanity offers us? Its hideous wars, its social abominations, its foul creeds, its treacheries, vices, wants, diseases, lusts, tyrannies, and crimes are the natural outcome of the subjugation of one half of the human race by the other.” MenWantNeedsHumansWarHumanitySocialSexNaturalRaceHalfWonderRightsCrimeOffersEqualDiseaseUniversalPrivilegeVicesLustTyrannyOppressionHuman RaceOutcomesCreedsEqual RightsRestorationFoulHideousEmancipationTreacheryOne HalfAbominationSubjugationRights And Privileges Author:Tennessee Celeste Claflin
