"This restriction of duties based only on the circumstances of sex rather than the morals of a human is the cause of the evil that comes out of those opposed to christianity value of masculine and feminine virtues. Man is given superiority over women. He is seen as a protector and to be portrayed with sternest. Women have been placed as the subordinate. The woman has been taught to stand with her husband but not to be shown as a individual. She is to sit in good humor and show elegance. The woman is to be domestic like a slave. She has no independence except those given by the man. Her slave life needs to come to an end. Human morals need to become part of our lives otherwise we are no better than beast with slaves.
Therefore a beg you Mr. Editor to publish this letter to help men see the light and prevent any further men to women slavery. We cannot change the years of involuenteer slavery that has been imposed on women, of the past, but we can prevent it from further growing in our soils. As an American women I too deserve rights and a say. We, the women of your country are half the population, and without us you could not run properly. I take up this cause in hopes of making those moral being moral and just, I hope this has help persuade you
Thy friend,
C.Beecher"
