I and others of my sex find ourselves controlled by a form of government in the inauguration of which we had no voice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our whole constitutional heritage rebels at the thought of giving government the power to control men's minds.
I created no authority that wasn't already there under the constitution.
So many women don't have voices in their governments.
Thus, neither my government nor myself, personally, are without ideals and responsibilities.
