unity, in all religious assemblies.

_Resolved_, That the same amount of virtue, delicacy, and
refinement of behavior that is required of woman in the social
state, should also be required of man, and the same
transgressions should be visited with equal severity on both man
and woman.

_Resolved_, That the objection of indelicacy and impropriety,

At the last session Lucretia Mott offered and spoke to the following
resolution:

_Resolved_, That the speedy success of our cause depends upon the
zealous and untiring efforts of both men and women, for the
overthrow of the monopoly of the pulpit, and for the securing to
woman a
