“ Stanton is a vigorous woman of commanding size, gray-haired and dark-eyed. She possesses conversational powers of the highest order. As an orator, she is forceful, logical, witty, sarcastic and eloquent She has the mental force of a giant. In public debates and private arguments she has shown herself the polemic equal of many of the most brilliant men of her time. She believes that social and national safety lies alone in the purity of the individual, and in the full and free bestowal upon the individual, regardless of sex, of all the rights and privileges of citizenship. ”

“ She was a child of marked intelligence, and her cultured parents gave her the benefit of a thorough education. She took the course in the academy in Johnstown, and then went to Mrs. Emma Willard's seminary, in Troy, N. Y., where she was graduated in 1832. She had, in her youth, in her father's law office, heard much talk of the injustice of the laws, ELIZABETH CADY STANTON. and she early learned to rebel against the inequity of law, which seemed to her made only for men. ”

“ She was met with abuse, ridicule and misrepresentation at the beginning of her crusade for the women of the country, and she has lived down all and seen her cherished ambition fruited here and there, and the public brought to look upon woman suffrage as something to be desired. ”
