ACT I.
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).
