Beecher argues that women have natural gifts in the same way as men do and should be permitted to publicly exercise those gifts in the same way. He advocates for woman's suffrage, saying the woman's influence is too important to be restricted to the household. Men and women would make more progress in reform and public affairs if they were able to influence one another.

Taxation
Originally published in 1908 in the "San Francisco Examiner", Dorothy Dix (pseudonym of American journalist Elizabeth Meriwether Gilmer) addresses taxation, the differences between men and women, household budgets, morals, education, and other arguments in favor of women's suffrage.
The National American Woman Suffrage Association published a series of circulars written by well-known activists on the social, political, and economic reasons why women should be granted the right to vote. The circulars, along with novelties such as buttons, stationery, playing cards and other materials to advertise the suffrage movement were included in a mail-order "Catalog of Suffrage Literature and Supplies" produced by the NAWSA Literature Committee.
