This passage while short in length summed up womens rights effectively stating women were stronger patriots then men. The writer is asking for equality even though women "[s]ometimes surpass them in our love for the public good." Women surpassed men in their love for country and fight for freedom by willingly allowing their sons and husbands to fight and maybe die for their country. Did all women feel the same as this writer that they were willing to give up vain items (hair accessories) at the end of the Revolution just as they were able to stop drinking tea at the start of the Revolution? -Megan W. | This passage while short in length summed up womens rights effectively stating women were stronger patriots then men.

| + | I liked the opinions of this woman who was defending her rights. She had good points to make including mentioning famous heroines and when she said "...women have been seen forgetting the weakness of their sex, building new walls.." She is describing how women are strong and not only take on the burdens and stress of being a female and living day to day but also taking care of their families and those around them. -Amy Van Ness | ||
