“When women understand that governments and religions are human inventions; that Bibles, prayer-books, catechisms, and encyclical letters are all emanations from the brains of man, they will no longer be oppressed by the injunctions that come to them with the divine authority of Thus sayeth the Lord.”
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who founded the National Woman Suffrage Association in New York, with Susan B. Anthony, on this day in 1869
