Hannah Whitall Smith Correspondence: Social Change

“'Behold, I make all things new’ was the joyful declaration of woman’s great Deliverer. ‘He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.’ Above all other beings these words must refer to woman, who, without Christ, lies prostrate under society’s pitiless and crushing pyramid.”

-Frances Willard
