To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise(vote). He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice. He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead. He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns.”
