"Award to us our proper
station in society; abolish all unjust laws in regard to us;
withhold from us no longer our natural rights as human beings,
children of one Parent, members of the same family... As husbands
and son, as fathers and brothers, show to the world that you are not
only manly, but humane; that you know how to pity as well as to
protect; which will reflect honor, not only to your head, but to
your heart, and future generations will revere your memory.
All that we ask, is what justly belongs to us; we ask it not only as
a favor, but as a right." - Memorial of the Female Signers of the
Several Petitions of Henry A. Hardy and Others, Presented March 1,
1849 to the "Gentleman of the Senate and House of Representatives"
by Mary Upton Ferrin. |
