If the first woman God ever made
was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone,
these women together ought to be able to turn it back,
and get it right side up again!
And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.



It is the mind that makes the body.




Dat man ober dar say dat womin needs to be helped into carriages,
and lifted ober ditches, and to hab de best place everywhar.
Nobody eber helps me into carriages, or ober mud-puddles, or gibs me any best place!
And a'n't I a woman?
Look at me! Look at me! Look at my arm!
I have ploughed, and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me!
And a'n't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man
—when I could get it—and bear de lash a well!
And a'n't I a woman?
I have borne thirteen chilern, and seen 'em mos' all sold off to slavery,
and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me!
And a'n't I a woman!




"Den dat little man in black dar, he say women can't have as much rights
as men, 'cause Christ wan't a woman! Whar did your Christ come from?"
"Whar did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothin' to do wid Him."
