... The School Should Be An Appendage

When Institutions Are Endowed To Train Women For All Departments Connected With The Family State, Domestic Labor, Now So Shunned And Disgraced, Will Become Honorable, Will Gain Liberal Compensation, And Will Enable Every Woman To Secure An Independence In Employments Suited To Her Sex. And When This Is Attained, There Will Be Few Or None Who Wish To Enter The Professions Of Men Or Take Charge Of Civil Government.

We Are Now Going Through A Period Of Demolition. In Morals, In Social Life, In Politics, In Medicine, And In Religion There Is A Universal Upturning Of Foundations. But The Day Of Reconstruction Seems To Be Looming, And Now The Grand Question Is: Are There Any Sure And Universal Principles That Will Evolve A Harmonious System In Which We Shall All Agree?

... It Is The Right And Duty Of Every Woman To Employ The Power Of Organization And Agitation In Order To Gain Those Advantages Which Are Given To The One Sex And Unjustly Withheld From The Other.

The Ability To Secure An Independent Livelihood And Honorable Employ Suited To Her Education And Capacities Is The Only True Foundation Of The Social Elevation Of Woman, Even In The Very Highest Classes Of Society. While She Continues To Be Educated Only To Be Somebody's Wife, And Is Left Without Any Aim In Life Till That Somebody Either In Love, Or In Pity, Or In Selfish Regard At Last Grants Her The Opportunity, She Can Never Be Truly Independent.

... Any Men Who Would Give Up The Law-making Power To Women In Order To Remedy Existing Evils, Would Surely Be Those Most Ready To Enact The Needful Laws Themselves.
