Meaning of “It is because of her birthright to self-sovereignty;…”
Self-sovereignty here is political and moral rather than merely motivational: Stanton argues that individual responsibility is a reason for equal rights, education, and freedom of action.
Where does it come from?
Solitude of Self; this clause occurs inside Stanton’s argument for education, civic voice, economic opportunity, and emancipation from enforced dependence.
