Away with that folly that her rights would be detrimental to her character - that if she were recognized as the equal to a man she would cease to be a woman!Ernestine Rose
Select Ernestine Rose Quotations
I know that some endeavor to throw the mantle of romance over the subject and treat woman like some ideal existence, not liable to the ills of life. Let those deal in fancy who have nothing better to deal in; we have to do with sober, sad realities, with stubborn facts.
Ernestine Rose
In case of separation, why should the children be taken from the protecting care of the mother? Who has a better right to them than she? How much do fathers generally do toward bringing them up?
Ernestine Rose
Cultivate the frontal portion of her brain as much as that of man is cultivated, and she will stand his equal at least. Even now, where her mind has been called out at all, her intellect is as bright, as capacious, and as powerful as his.
Ernestine Rose

Ernestine Rose
