I was a woman before I was an abolitionist. I must speak for the women.

I expect to plead not for the slave only, but for suffering humanity everywhere. Especially do I mean to labor for the elevation of my sex.

I return my tax bill without paying it. My reason for doing so is that women suffer taxation yet have not representation.
