Matching Quote
"It used to be said in antislavery days that a people who would tacitly consent to the
enslavement
of 4,000,000 human beings were incapable of being just to each other, and I believe this same rule holds with regard to the injustice practiced by men towards women. So long as all men conspire to rob women of the citizen's right to perfect equality in all the privileges and immunities of our so-called "free" government, we can not expect these same men to be capable of perfect justice to each other."
-Susan B. Anthony
