“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. When I meet Thomas Jefferson, Im a compel him to include women in the sequel!”
yeah good luck with that
“You see by the papers, and I suppose by your letters also, how much your native state has been agitated by the question on the new Constitution. But that need not agitate you. The tender breasts of ladies were not formed for political convulsion; and the French ladies miscalculate much their own happiness when they wander from the true field of their influence into that of politicks.“ Thomas Jefferson to Angelica Schuyler Church, 21 September 1788
“You will preserve, from temper and inclination, the happy privilege of the ladies to leave to the rougher sex and to the newspapers their party squabbles and reproaches.” Thomas Jefferson to Angelica Schuyler Church, 24 May 1797
