“He has withheld from her rights which are given the most ignorant and degraded men- both natives and foreigners.”
“He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.”

I have ploughed, planted and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man-when I could get it-and bear the lash as well! And ain’t I a woman? I have born thirteen children and seen most all sold into slavery. And when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain’t I a woman?”
