AN APPEAL FOR LIBERTY
From Women-TO the Men of New Jersey

N EN- Of New Jersey-we, women of your state, appeal to you to
I'VE enfranchhse us.
w That we must ask il of you shows that you are now u
masters
1t lies with you to say whether your sisters shall stand in political
equality with you n remain subordinate.
You make the laws which govern u.s. you decide upon u rights
privileges and duties; you punish US when w break you laws; you re-
ward us when W please you; you determine our appointment, hours and
salaries in public office; you give n refuse permission TO IS to merry and
to be mothers while serving the children of the state a s teachers; you
hold all legal and civil power YER us.
We do not ask for power rel you, but for equality with you.
We ask for full recognition of ar citizenship, for the right Of self
government, for u share in democracy.
We ask ii on the same grounds that you would ask IL If the case was
reversed; if you we're loved and honored as husbands and fathers, but
had ne status al citizens, n o voice in your ON government privilege
perhaps, but neither power o freedom.
BY every law of social evolution We need 20 share in the political
progress of our age.
For every reason that mel need the ballot ~omen need It too
Because democracy for it's health and growth, requires the full and
intelligent participation of all its citizens We as half the citizens are
needed to strengthen this democracy.
Because W are women, wives and mothers We especially need equal
power as citizens that n sex may not hold an unfair advantage vel
the other o parent YER the other and that mothers together may
take better careo If all the children of the world.
Because the world needs, above ALL today a people wise, free and re-
sponsibe, with it's children SO reared and trained, and because the a-
Vaneement of the mother mean the most rapid advancement of the
child, that she may teach by example as we'll a preoept We ask for
liberty.
Because we art of the anne racial stock as yourselves, living in the
same age as yourselves, sharing the same social misfortunes IS your
selves, hoping for the same social improvements a s yourselves, NE ask
for equal political liberty with yourselves.
Give US liberty that we may work with % for the improvement of
u race, the progress of the world.
