Grievance (Quote from the Declaration of Sentiments)Explanation (In your own words) Category (Political, social, or economic) He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise (the right to vote). He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice. He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead (having no rights in society or government). He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns.
