• ...Creo que la mujer tiene derecho a tener voz en todas las leyes y reglamentos por los que debe regirse, ya sea en la Iglesia o en el Estado; y que las disposiciones actuales de la sociedad, en estos puntos, son una violación de los derechos humanos, una usurpación del poder, una violenta incautación y confiscación de lo que es sagrada e inalienablemente suyo - y por lo tanto infligiendo a la mujer daños indignantes, causando un daño incalculable en el círculo social, y en su influencia en el mundo produciendo sólo el mal, y eso continuamente.

• Measure her rights and duties by the unerring standard of moral being… and then the truth will be self-evident, that whatever it is morally right for a man to do, it is morally right for a woman to do. I recognize no rights but human rights – I know nothing of men’s rights and women’s rights; for in Christ Jesus, there is neither male nor female. It is my solemn conviction, that, until this principle of equality is recognised and embodied in practice, the Church can do nothing effectual for the permanent reformation of the world.
