Meaning of “The point I wish plainly to bring before…”
Stanton begins from individual personhood before social roles, arguing that each human being has a distinct moral and civic existence that cannot be reduced to relationship status.
Where does it come from?
Solitude of Self, address delivered January 18, 1892; exact full-text witness reviewed on Wikisource. Stanton opens her central argument by shifting from familiar suffrage claims to 'the individuality of each human soul,' grounding political and educational equality in individual conscience, citizenship and responsibility rather than generic self-help.
