Continuing on my previous rant, The Declaration of Sentiments has a of list grievances highly reminiscent of the list in The Declaration of Independence. I feel that in this case, the following the form of The Declaration of Independence definitely has its setbacks. It lends a disorderly feel (as it also does in The Declaration of Independence) to the work as whole.

The next document, Stanton's Address to the New York Legislature, included the question, "How could man look thus on woman? She, at whose feet Socrates learned wisdom -- she, who gave the world a Saviour [sic], and witnessed alike the adoration of the Magiand the agonies of the cross. How could such a being, so blessed and honored, ever become the ignoble, servile, cringing slave, with whom fear of man could be paramount to the sacred dictates of conscience and the holy love of Heaven" (p. 54).

I though it was interesting and really showed the religious influence in early(er) feminism.
