The Library of Congress' American Memory Project - Votes For Women: National American Woman Suffrage Association Collection 1848-1921: Address to the Legislature of New-York. "Gentlemen, in republican America, in the 19th century, we, the daughters of the revolutionary heroes of 76, demand at your hands the redness of our grievances-a revision of your state constitution-a new code of laws. Permit us then, as briefly as possible, to call your attention to the legal disabilities under which we labor. " (Elizabeth Cady Stanton).
