Document tape at fore-edge of one leaf. A very good copy of a scarce women's suffrage item. The present report written by Republican Senator Matthew Hale Carpenter 1824 – 1881 responds to the memorial presented by numerous prominent suffragists including Susan B. Anthony Elizabeth Cady Stanton Isabella Beecher Hooker Elizabeth S. Bladen Olympia Brown and Josephine J. Griffing. The suffragists' memorial argued that the 1870 ratification of the 15th Amendment which granted voting rights to citizens of the United States regardless of "race color or previous condition of servitude" should also grant women the right to vote. Carpenter and the Senate denied that the 15th Amendment applies to women's suffrage and rejected the memorial. books
