Opposites from American Love by Camden Joy

Henry (comparing his wife to Victoria): "You are opposites like cold and hot. She is everything you are not."
Lucy: "I am everything. She is naught."
Henry: "No, of course. I forgot. I wonder has she met Lucretia Mott?"
Lucy: "How would I know?”
Henry: “No. I just thought..."
Lucy: "What worries me is Mrs. Stanton. No one in the world writes with such passion. But when she changes her mind or adds positions, she changes the whole women’s movement. She moves and the movement moves. She trips and the movement falls. Now she paints us all as radicals, defending and praising this Woodhull. In Iowa and in Michigan, our suffrage campaign feels doomed again. Those people read what Woodhull says, and think suffragists are anarchists. So... Where is Susan in all of this?"
Henry: "It says she’s lecturing out west. But wait. I saved for last the best. Guess who’s running for president? And guess who gave her an endorsement on behalf of the women’s movement? Mrs. Stanton says, 'Woodhull’s the One: Free love and socialism!'"
Lucy: "This is damage that can’t be undone. Someone somewhere should tell Susan."
Henry: "Someone will, but it’s all good fun. She's named Frederick Douglass to be her vice-president… but she hasn’t bothered asking him!"
Lucy: "Once more, they’re laughing at women."
