The freedom of woman is the most important of all subjects that statesmen and citizens can consider.
Pay mothers for the work they do for the state. Give them the opportunity for economic freedom, that they may be self-respecting, and develop on equal terms with men.
The great need of the world is for better women and men—an evolving race.
There is just one way: we must have evolving mothers.
Servile mothers have slave sons and stupid daughters, and sometimes criminal children.
Women must be free to choose their occupations.
If they marry, they must recognize the business in marriage and enter into the business partnership with true intelligence.
With no less intelligence must men understand that the contract in marriage can not be unilateral and bring benefit or happiness to either person, nor can the purpose of marriage be best accomplished.
Democracy in marriage is the Great Imperative. We would have a democratic form of government? Democracy must begin at the foundation of all government—the home.
