"Hitherto, instead of being a help meet to man, in the highest, noblest sense of the term, as a companion, a co-worker, an equal; she has been a mere appendage of his being, an instrument of his convenience and pleasure, the pretty toy with which he whiled away his leisure moments, or the pet animal whom he humored into playfulness and submission." - Angelina Grimke'

 

     “I ask no favors for my sex... All I ask of our brethren is that they will take their feet from off our necks.” - Sarah Moore Grimke'

     “Women are early taught that to appear to yield is the only way to govern.” - Sarah Moore Grimke'
