Susan B Anthony, Feminine Activist

Today's Liberal Socialist Who ONLY want to pad their bank accounts with the MONEY from the gullible brainwashed neanderthals REFUSE to uphold the Feminine Activist of old, because they don't fit into their liar's closet. Read WHAT ONE FEMININE ACTIVIST had to say long before YOU were born...



Quotes of Susan B Anthony (February 15, 1820 – March 13, 1906), a prominent American civil rights leader who played a pivotal role in the 19th century women's rights movement to introduce women's suffrage into the United States. She was co-founder of the first Women's Temperance Movement with Elizabeth Cady Stanton as President. She also co-founded the women's rights journal, The Revolution. She traveled the United States and Europe, and averaged 75 to 100 speeches per year. She was one of the important advocates in leading the way for women's rights to be acknowledged and instituted in the American government.

Susan B. Anthony, whose face is on a U.S. dollar coin, a 3-cent stamp and whose statue is in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, died MARCH 13, 1906.

Raised a Quaker, her father owned a cotton mill and refused to buy cotton from farmers who owned slaves.

Susan B. Anthony's religious upbringing instilled in her the concept that every one is equal before God and motivated her to crusade for freedom for slaves and a woman's right to vote.

Opposing liquor, drunkenness and abortion, Susan encountered mobs, armed threats, objects thrown at her and was hung in effigy.

After the Civil War, Susan B. Anthony worked hard for the passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments.

She succeeded in having women admitted to the University of Rochester and was arrested for voting in the 1872 Presidential Election, saying she "positively voted the Republican ticket-straight..."

Fourteen years after her death, women won the right to vote.

Quoted in The Revolution, July 1869, Susan B. Anthony stated:

"I deplore the horrible crime of child-murder...

No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death;

But oh! Thrice guilty is he who...drove her to the desperation which impels her to the crime."

"Women can vote" was the news AUGUST 26, 1920, with the passage of the 19th Amendment:
"The right of citizens of the U.S. to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."
Yet even today, in countries adhering to strict Sharia Law, such as Saudi Arabia, women still cannot vote.
President Gerald Ford stated February 13, 1976:
"Susan B. Anthony...with other dedicated women...took the cause of women's suffrage to State capitals across our growing Nation...
The irreversible change she wrought...led to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment."
Also fighting for prohibition of alcohol, Susan B. Anthony spoke at a Daughters of Temperance dinner, March 1, 1849:
"Ladies! There is no Neutral position for us...If we sustain not this noble enterprise...then is our influence on the side of Intemperance.
If we say we love the Cause and then sit down at our ease, surely does our action speak the lie. And now permit me once more to beg of you to lend your aid to this great Cause, the Cause of God and all Mankind."

Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputations... can never effect a reform.

Other quotes:
Failure is impossible.

I always distrust people who know so much about what God wants them to do to their fellows.

I beg you to speak of Woman as you do of the Negro, speak of her as a human being, as a citizen of the United States, as a half of the people in whose hands lies the destiny of this Nation.

I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.

I don't want to die as long as I can work; the minute I can not, I want to go.

I have encountered riotous mobs and have been hung in effigy, but my motto is: Men's rights are nothing more. Women's rights are nothing less.

I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge all women to the practical recognition of the old Revolutionary maxim. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.

I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.

If all the rich and all of the church people should send their children to the public schools they would feel bound to concentrate their money on improving these schools until they met the highest ideals.

Independence is happiness.

Join the union, girls, and together say Equal Pay for Equal Work.

Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.

Modern invention has banished the spinning wheel, and the same law of progress makes the woman of today a different woman from her grandmother.

No man is good enough to govern any woman without her consent.

Oh, if I could but live another century and see the fruition of all the work for women! There is so much yet to be done.

Organize, agitate, educate, must be our war cry.

Resolved, that the women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for discontent, rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776.

Suffrage is the pivotal right.

The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world; I am like a snowball - the further I am rolled the more I gain.

This is rather different from the receptions I used to get fifty years ago. They threw things at me then but they were not roses.

Trust me that as I ignore all law to help the slave, so will I ignore it all to protect an enslaved woman.

White men have always controlled their wives' wages. Colored men were not able to do so until they themselves became free. Then they owned both their wives and their wages.

Women, we might as well be dogs baying the moon as petitioners without the right to vote!
