"Do you tell me that the Bible is against women's rights?
Then I say that our claims do not rest upon a book
written no one knows when or by whom. "Do you tell me what Peter or Paul says on the subject?
Then I reply that our claims do not rest on the opinions
of anyone, not even Paul and Peter; "Books and opinions, no matter from whom they come,
if they are in opposition to human rights,
are nothing but dead letters."; Ernestine Rose; Jan. 13, 1810 - Aug. 4, 1892
