The building up of a new, far-reaching system of inspection on the question of equal pay, with power to investigate every business in the United States, administered by a colossal new government agency with vast enforcement powers, would not be helpful to women, as far as I can see.

Mr. President how long must women wait to get their liberty? Let us have the rights we deserve.

I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.

We women of America tell you that America is not a democracy. Twenty million women are denied the right to vote.
