Petition from Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton

To the Senate of the United States.

The undersigned respectfully ask that your Honorable Body will extend to women the same protection that colored men now enjoy in the exercise of their right to vote. As the United States Constitution as it is with all its recent Amendments, laws to ensure them, does not in the opinion of Supreme Court Judges guarantee such protection in the several states, we demand of Congress further legislation that shall secure to women their civil & political rights – 

Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Susan B. Anthony
