- no rights, "civilly dead" when married, marriage makes man her "master", man opresses woman.
- uses He and her or she, just like in the delcaration of independence.
- talks about religious rights. "he has usurped the prerogative of Jehoah himself."
- calls women "one-half the people of this country"
- they realized going into their movement that they would face a lot of ridicule and problems.
