Read the excerpt from Frederick Douglass’s speech on the emancipation of women. (1) Woman does not ask man for the right of suffrage. (2) That is something which man has no power to give. (3) Rights do not have their source in the will or the grace of man. . . . All that woman can properly ask man to do in this case, and all that man can do, is to get out of the way, to take his obstructive forces of fines and imprisonment and his obstructive usages out of the way, and let woman express her sentiments at the polls and in the government, equally with himself. (4) Give her fair play and let her alone.
