<span style="color: #b92d2d; display: block; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not. Being persons, then, women are citizens; and no state has a right to make any law, or to enforce any old law, that shall abridge their privileges or immunities. Hence, every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several states is today null and void, precisely as is every one against Negroes.Susan B. Anthony - 1873
