(From a speech delivered at the 80th birthday celebration of Susan B. Anthony.)
Not until the suffrage movement had awakened woman to her responsibility and power, did shecome to appreciate the true significance of Christ’s pity for Magdalene as well as of his love for Mary; not till then was the work of Pundita Ramabai in far away India as sacred as that of Frances Willard at home in America; not till she had suffered under the burden of her own wrongs and abuses did she realize the all-important truth that no woman and no class of women can be degraded and all womankind not suffer thereby.
