Juliet Stillman Severance
Juliet Hall Worth Stillman Severance (De Ruyter, Madison County, New York, 1 July 1833 - New York, 3 September 1919) was an American physician and feminist of the 19th century.
She was one of the first woman physicians of the United States, having graduated in 1858. She opposed slavery, death penalty and abortion and supported the temperance. She was the leader of several Labour organizations. In the biographical dictionary ''Women of the Century'' (1893), she is called "a radical of the radicals" and also "a model mother and a housekeeper".
She campaigned for women rights and the right to life of the unborn child, believing that marriage and motherhood should be affirming choices for women. In her article, "Is the Present Marriage System a Failure?", published in the progressive Chicago newspaper ''Universe'' on 28 August 1869, she states: "Marriage should be a soul-union, not a curse ... not a merging of one life into another, but ... two individuals uniting their lives for mutual good and the good of humanity — it may be in reproduction, or it may be in giving birth to higher, nobler ideas, and outworking them in noble deeds and grand achievements .... There is not a child in a hundred that is begotten with the consent of the mother. As the present marriage system makes man the owner of woman — her legal master — she is expected to submit to his gratification .... When the marriage system is what it should be, and woman controls in these matters, instead of man ... Restellism () shall cease, because there will be no demand for it."〔(Profile of Juliet Stillman Severance at Feminists for Life Official Website )〕
