We are not really senseless, and we are not angels, too, </br> But very human beings, human just as much as you. </br> It's hard upon occasions to be forceful and sublime </br> When you're treated as incompetents three-quarters of the time.

Additional quotes by Alice Duer Miller

When men in Congress come to blows at something someone said, </br> I always notice that it shows their blood is quick and red; </br> But if two women disagree, with very little noise, </br> It proves, and this seems strange to me, that women have no poise.

It's treating a woman politely </br> As long as she isn't a fright: </br> It's guarding the girls who act rightly, </br> If you can be judge of what's right; </br> It's being—not just, but so pleasant; </br> It's tipping while wages are low; </br> It's making a beautiful present, </br> And failing to pay what you owe.
