Title A name given to the resource "Some things we want" by Celestia R. Colby Description An account of the resource In this undated and unfinished manuscript essay, Celestia R. Colby begins to explain what rights she and other 19th century women seek in American society. Transcript: Written For The Mayflower Some Things We Want By Mrs Celestia R. Colby Said a gentleman to me the other day, "I wish you would write an article for the "Ladies Volunteer," (an unpretending little paper which is sometimes "got up" by the ladies of "our society" for our own private benefit,) "and tell us plainly and clearly just what you want" and he added with bitter sarcasm, "it would be something that I never knew a writer or lecturer upon woman's rights, to do yet!" Of course ["I" underlined] have not the vanity to suppose that ["I" underlined] can accomplish what so many more learned and more gifted, have failed to do; viz. make that man understand what the advocates of woman's rights demand, for it is one thing to explain, and quite another to give the understanding: and we have the faintest possible suspicion that his case is hopeless, on the ground of the man "convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still. Neither shall I attempt to show ["all" underlined] that we ask but just jot down a few items, as the moments snatched from labor or slumber will permit. And here let me say that we do not merely ask a change of legislation in our favor, knowing well that were the ^all laws that oppress woman struck from the statute books to day, that a tyrant ten-fold stronger, exists in the ["customs" underlined] that bind men and ["women too willing" underlined] victims in their fetters of adamant and like an iron shroud cramps and crushes every ["every" crossed out] effort, every struggle of those who would be truly free.
