• Hemos rogado, persuadido y suplicado por el voto, con la esperanza de que los hombres, por caballerosidad, otorgaran los mismos derechos a las mujeres y las aceptaran como socias en los asuntos del Estado.

Pensábamos que su presumido sentido de la justicia superaría los errores que tan a menudo encadenan el espíritu humano; pero siempre nos hemos ido con las manos vacías. No rogaremos más.
