Quotation by Woman's Loyal League

Resolved, There can never be a true peace in this Republic until the civil and political rights of all citizens of African descent and all women are practically established. Resolved, that the women of the Revolution were not wanting in heroism and self-sacrifice, and we, their daughters, are ready, in this War, to pledge our time, our means, our talents, and our lives, if need be, to secure the final and complete consecration of America to freedom.
Woman's Loyal League (founded May 1861). As quoted in Eighty Years and More (1815-1897), ch. 15, by Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1898).
