" See what gigantic force is concentrated in these few words — God has no attri- bute which can take sides with such oppression. Ladies — I feel that I should have confined my remarks more particularly to your society, and not have extended them to the whole field of Abolition. Pardon me for the digression. I rejoice to see you engaged in this mighty cause; it befits you; it is your province; your aid and influence is greatly to be desired in this hour of peril; it never was, never can be in- s...ignificant. Examine the records of history, and you will find that woman has been called upon in the severest trials of public emergency. That your efforts will stimulate the men to renewed exertion I have not the slightest doubt; for, in general, the pride of man's heart is such, that while he is wil- ling to grant unto woman exclusively, many conspicuous and dignified privileges, he at the same time feels an innate disposition to check the modest ardour of her zeal and ambi- tion, and revolts at the idea of her managing the reigns of im- provement.
