Excerpt from Constitutional Equality a Right of Woman: Or a Consideration of the Various Relations Which She Sustains as a Necessary Part of the Body of Society and Humanity; With Her Duties to Herself-Together With a Review of the Constitution of the United States, Showing That the Right to Vote Is Guarantee There seems to have been from time immemorial connected with the word Woman, a certain sense of servitude. Woman has always been considered something less than Man in many distinguishing respects. Even in infancy, before the light of intelligence sparkles in the eye, the daughter is mourned over by the fond mother, because she is not a son who may rise to honor and fame, and live long ages in the memory of the world. The facts of history, personal observation, and sad experience, perhaps, compel the mother to feel that, for her child, lying in innocent helplessness upon her breast, there is no hope in the future, other than the common fate of woman, unless, perchance, God may have bestowed upon her the germ of extraordinary beauty. With this thought start ling her soul, her prayers ascend to heaven that her infant may be so endowed, and that thus, in after years, she may find favor in the eyes of some one high in authority, riches or position, and may be able to compensate him with her beauty, who should condescend to woo her. Beauty has risen from the cot to the palace; from the shepherdess to the queen. It is not to be wondered, then, that mothers pray for the bestowal of this gift in which lies their daughter's only hope; although they remember that its possession, rich as it is in itself; appeals directly to that portion of man's nature which, finding expression through such appeals, has left a blight upon the very name of woman, when beauty has fled from her.
