Votes For Women: State Rights Documents
Description:
The Library of Congress' American Memory Project - Votes For Women: National American Woman Suffrage Association Collection 1848-1921: State Rights Documents. Two documents dealing with the legal status of women. Address to the Legislature of New-York, adopted by the State Woman's Rights Convention, by Elizabeth Stanton Cady. Woman's Suffrage by Constitutional Amendment. This is a collection of lectures delivered by Henry St. George Tucker at the Law School at Yale in 1916, originally titled, "Local Self-Government." One lecture addresses the ways in which the proposal to enfranchise women by constitutional amendment violates the "genius" of the Constitution. Good opposing arguments can be found in "Woman Suffrage by Federal Constitutional Amendment" [Section VII, no. 60].
