thumb| Frances Dana Barker Gage (pen name, Aunt Fanny; October 12, 1808 – November 10, 1884) was an American social reformer, feminist and abolitionist. Quotes One hundred years hence, what a change will be made,In politics, morals, religion and trade,In statesmen who wrangle or ride on the fence,These things will be altered a hundred years hence. "A Hundred Years Hence", st. 1 Our laws then will be uncompulsory rules,Our prisons converted to national schools. "A Hundred Years Hence", st. 2 Oppression and war will be heard of no more,Nor the blood of a slave leave his print on our shore,Conventions will then be a useless expense,For we'll all go free-suffrage a hundred years hence. "A Hundred Years Hence", st. 5. Note: "This song was written in 1852, at Cleveland, OH, expressly for John W. Hutchinson. Several of the friends were staying with Mrs. Caroline M. Severance, on their way to the Akron convention, where it was first sung."—History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 3 (Rochester, NY: Charles Mann, 1887) pp. 38–39.
