Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This statute provides that ‘women shall have the same rights and privileges under the law as men’ in several specified respects including ‘freedom of contract,’ ‘holding and conveying property,’ and almost everything else conceivable, ‘and in all other respects.’ . . . “The statute puts husband and wife on a basis of complete equality before the law in every respect. Wait v. Pierce, 191 Wis. 202 , 209 N. W. 475 , 210 N. W. 822 .” 27”
