Susan B. Anthony Quotes About Marriage

Quotes about: Marriage

• I never felt I could give up my life of freedom to become a man's housekeeper. When I was young, if a girl married poverty, she became a drudge; if she married wealth, she became a doll. Had I married at twenty-one, I would have been either a drudge or a doll for fifty-five years. Think of it!

• To be wedded to an idea may be, after all, the holiest and happiest of marriages.

  Love, Marriage, Ideas

• Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of life, not all of it. And the only possible way to accomplish this great change is to accord to women equal power in the making, shaping and controlling of the circumstances of life.
