Quotation by Harriot K. Hunt

Half the intellectual resources of the race on this continent, made half a freedom: it will take the feminine remainder—the other half of the intellectual resources—the heart-half!—to make our freedom entire and beautiful. Civil liberty now is a monopoly. It belongs to one sex, though it was secured by the blood and prayer and toil of generations of both sexes. Now its blessings are sexual! It is for John and Peter, not Mary and Deborah. But it will not be always so.
