ELIZABETH OAKES SMITH Address to the Woman’s Rights Convention at Syracuse, NY (1852)
ELIZABETH OAKES SMITH
Address to the Woman’s Rights
Convention at Syracuse, NY (1852)
Do we fully understand that we aim at nothing less than an entire subversion of the existing order of society, a dissolution of the whole existing social compact? Do we see that it is not an error of to-day, nor of yesterday, against which we are lifting up the voice of dissent; but it is against hoary-headed error of all times; error borne onward from the first footprints of the first pair ejected from Paradise—intermingled in every aspect of civilization, down to our own times?
