Equal Advantages of Education
By Elizabeth Cady Stanton
(Famous leader, with Susan B. Anthony, of the early woman suffrage movement. From a letter quoted in “Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony.”)

In her present ignorance, woman’s religion, instead of making her noble and free, by the wrong application of great principles of right and justice, has made her bondage but more certain and lasting; her degradation more helpless and complete.
