Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825–1921), U.S. suffragist. As quoted in "Common Sense" Applied to Woman Suffrage, ch. 1, by Mary Putnam Jacobi (1894).
Blackwell made this comment at the 1894 Woman's Rights Convention, recalling the first such convention, which had been held forty-six years earlier at Seneca Falls, New York. Not until 1920Mor seventy-two years after Seneca Falls—would the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution grant American women the vote.
