secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution
for the United States of America.”
Commit this to memory, friends; learn it by heart as well as by head, and I should have no
need to argue the question before you of my right to vote. For women are “people” surely, and desire,
as much as men, to say the least, to establish justice and to insure domestic tranquility; and, brothers,
you will never insure domestic tranquility in the days to come unless you allow women to vote, who
pay taxes and bear equally with yourselves all the burdens of society; for they do not mean any longer
to submit patiently and quietly to such injustice, and the sooner men understand this and graciously
submit to become the political equals of their mothers, wives, and daughters—aye, of their
grandmothers, for that is my category, instead of their political masters, as they now are, the sooner
will this precious domestic tranquility be insured. Women are surely “people,” I said, and were when
these words were written, and were as anxious as men to establish justice and promote the general
welfare, and no one will have the hardihood to deny that our foremothers have we not talked about
our forefathers alone long enough? did their full share in the work of establishing justice, providing
for the common defense, and promoting the general welfare in all those early days.
The truth is, friends, that when liberties had to be gained by the sword and protected by the
sword, men necessarily came to the front and seemed to be the only creators and defenders of these
liberties; hence all the way down women have been content to do their patriotic work silently and
through men, who are the fighters by nature rather than themselves, until the present day; but now at
last, when it is established that ballots instead of bullets are to rule the world .now, it is high time that
women ceased to attempt to establish justice and promote the general welfare, and secure the
blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity, through the votes of men . . .
PASSAGE 2

inexperienced in political affairs, quite generally dependent upon the other sex, all incapable of
performing military duty and without the power to enforce the laws which their numerical strength
may enable them to make, and comparatively very few of whom wish to assume the irksome and
responsible political duties which this measure thrusts upon them.
