Frederick Douglass"One of the most interesting events of the past week, was the holding of ... a Woman's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls. ... we cherish little sympathy for [sexism]."
~ Douglass's editorial in the North Star, shortly after the Convention "'And isn't that [the ballot] what women need?' she [Stanton] asked. 'Will you speak for it? I cannot alone.' He [Douglass] agreed that he would."
