Author of quotes: Abigail Adams

The fact that your gender is by nature is tyrannical is a truth so obvious that it does not require discussion, except for those of you who, fortunately, voluntarily relinquishes the coarse title of master for the more tender and beloved friend's name. Why, then, not to overthrow the vicious and lawless people who use us with impunity, with all the cruelty and neglect. Reasonable men in all ages have rejected those customs which treat us only as vassals of your sex.
