Quotes on Reform

"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.”- Susan B. Anthony

"There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.”- Susan B. AnthonySlide4

Women had supported the troops holding the men’s jobs while they were fighting

When the troops came back, women were treated as second class people

Women had no rightsSlide5
