Be wicked, be brave, be drunk, be reckless, be dissolute, be despotic, be a suffragette, be anything you like, but for pity's sake be it to the top of your bent. Live fully, live passionately, live disastrously. Let's live, you and I, as none have ever lived before.

• Durante la revuelta sufragista de 1913 yo [insistí] en que lo que se necesitaba no era el voto, sino una enmienda constitucional que promulgara que todos los órganos representativos debían estar formados por mujeres y hombres en igual número, ya fueran elegidos o nominados o cooptados o registrados o elegidos en la calle como el jurado de un juez de instrucción. En el caso de los órganos electos, la única forma de conseguirlo es mediante el voto conjunto. La unidad representativa no debe ser un hombre o una mujer, sino un hombre y una mujer.

• Recently a young mother asked for advice. What, she wanted to know, was she to do with a 7-year-old who was obstreperous, outspoken, and inconveniently willful? "Keep her," I replied.... The suffragettes refused to be polite in demanding what they wanted or grateful for getting what they deserved. Works for me.

• Habremos pasado de que los hombres nos digan con condescendencia que no nos preocupemos por cosas tan importantes como la política, a que no nos preocupemos sin que ni siquiera nos digan que no lo hagamos. Las sufragistas lucharon y sufrieron tanto en nuestro nombre; qué parodia de todo lo que representaban, si simplemente miramos hacia otro lado como si no nos importara.
