I never before took in so fully the grand idea of pecuniary independence.

Woman must have a purse of her own, and how can this be so long as the law denies to the wife all right to both the individual and the joint earnings?
Reflections like these convince me that there is no true freedom for woman without the possession of equal property rights, and that these can be obtained only through legislation.

If this is so, then the sooner the demand is made, the sooner it will be granted.

It must be done by petition, and this, too, of the very next legislature.

How can the work be started?
We must hold a convention and adopt some plan of united action.
With her, to think was always to act.
