"Sex prejudice has been the cheif hindrance in the rapid advance of the women's rights movement to its present status, and it still is a stupendous obstacle to be overcome. This world taught women nothing skillful and then said her work was valueless. It permitted her no opinions and said she did not know how to think. It forbade her to speak in public and said the sex had no orators. It denied her the schools, and said the sex had no genius. It robbed her of every vestige of responsibilty and called her weak. It taught her that every pleasure must come as a favor from men, and when to gain it she decked herself in paint and fine feathers, as she had been taught to do, it called her vain." -Carrie Chapman Catt
