First Women's-Rights Convention

a speech given by Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1848 (excerpt)
We have met here today to discuss our rights and wrongs, civil and polítical, and
not, as some have supposed, to go into the detail of social life alone. We do not
propose to petition the legislature to make our husbands just, generous, and
courteous, to seat every man at the head of a cradle, and to clothe every woman in
male attire. None of these points, however important they may be considered by
leading men, will be touched in this convention. As to their costume, the gentlemen
need feel no fear of our imitating that, for we think it in violation of every principle
of taste, beauty, and dignity, notwithstanding all the contempt cast upon our loose,
flowing garments, we still admire the graceful folds, and consider our costume far
more artistic than theirs. Many of the nobler sex seem to agree with us in this
opinion, for the bishops, priests, judges, barristers, and lord mayors of the first
nation on the globe, and the Pope of Rome, with his cardinals, too, all wear the
loose flowing robes, thus tacitly acknowledging that the male attire is neither
dignified nor imposing. No, we shall not mõlešt you in your philosophical
experiments with stocks, pants, high-heeled boots, and Russian belts.
