Read the excerpt from "On Women's Right to Vote" by
Susan B. Anthony
The only question left to be settled now is: Are women
persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will
have the hardihood to say they are not. Being persons,
then, women are citizens; and no state has a right to
make any law, or to enforce any old law, that shall
abridge their privileges or immunities. Hence, every
discrimination against women in the constitutions and
laws of the several states is today null and void.
After asking the rhetorical question "Are women
persons?" and noting that even opponents would be
hard-pressed to argue that women are not persons,
Anthony forcefully states her logical conclusion:
"Being persons, then, women are citizens."
Anthony argues that Being persons, then, women are
citizens; and no state has a right to make any law, or
to enforce any old law, that shall abridge their
privileges or immunities.
"Hence, every discrimination against women in the
constitutions and laws of the several states is today
null and void," and it is hard to argue with that
conclusion.
Thus, since "women are citizens." "no state has a
right to make any law, or to enforce any old law" that takes away the “privelages or immunities” of being a citizen.
