MRS. STANTON TALKING: Ladies we are met here today to discuss women, our social, civil and religious conditions, and the rights of women. (Applause). For generations we have been held down by man (more applause). I want to read to you a set of resolutions. We will call them a Declaration of Sentiments. They will be met of course with ridicule but that does not matter. Right is right and in time will prevail. Here are some of the resolutions: First: We should have the same right as any other citizen of the United States. The right to own and manage our own property. The right to cast a vote at an election. There are others that we will talk of. You see ladies we should have an equal vote with men. (Much applause). ACT II. INTRODUCTION: Susan B. Anthony met Mrs. Stanton soon after this convention and though she had not been in sympathy with the "Declaration of Sentiments" she changed and was ever after a friend of women's suffrage. They started a weekly paper which they called "The Revolution." The next act will be Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony talking about their paper. MISS STANTON: We must let the people of the United States see that the only True Republic is this "Men their rights and nothing more--Women their rights and nothing less." MISS ANTHONY: Yes, this is the only way for us to get our rights. We will organize a National Women's Suffrage Association. MISS STANTON: We will go over the country to any state we are needed and talk to the people. MISS ANTHONY: Yes, I will address Congress and I will cast a vote for the President. It is my right under the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. _End of Act II._ Transcriber's Note: The reader is obliged to seek information on "Julia Ward Howe, and others" elsewhere, as the digital images of this document contain final blank pages and a back cover, but no further text. * * * * * Transcriber's Note: A Table of Contents has been added to this ebook for the reader's convenience.
