1848 Seneca Falls Convention:
"The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world."
"He has monopolized nearly all the profitable employments, and from those she is permitted to follow, she receives but a scanty remuneration."

Improvement in 170 years? Yes. Equal pay for equal work? Not yet.
"He has created a false public sentiment, by giving to the world a different code of morals for men and women, by which moral delinquencies which exclude women from society, are not only tolerated but deemed of little account in man."

Sadly as true in 2018 as 1848.
"He has endeavored, in every way that he could to destroy her confidence in her own powers, to lessen her self-respect, and to make her willing to lead a dependent and abject life."

Continues to happen but more & more women are resisting & persisting.
"In entering upon the great work before us, we anticipate no small amount of misconception, misrepresentation, and ridicule; but we shall use every instrumentality within our power to effect our object."

The great work is unfinished. We still fight, & not for ourselves alone.
