Here are a few that I have picked up while teaching Psychology of Gender:

Darwin:
"Being married to a woman provided the man with a constant companion, a
friend in old age, an object to be loved and played with, better than a dog
anyhow." 

Paul Broca (of "Broca's area"):
"The relatively small size of the female brain depends in part upon her
physical inferiority and in part upon her intellectual inferiority" and that
women's brains are "too small for them to be educated."

Edward Clarke, Harvard Medical School Board of Overseers, 1874:
�Education would require diverting blood from the reproductive organs to
their brains; they�d be unable to bear children.�

Herbert Spencer - �Women shouldn�t vote - they have too much maternal
instinct.�

G. Stanley Hall - "higher education for women would spell race suicide� [of
the white, or European race]
