Read the excerpt from the writings of Susan B. Anthony and answer the question. We say not another man, black or white, until woman is inside the citadel. . . . The old anti slavery school says women must stand back and wait. . . . But we say, if you will not give the whole loaf of suffrage to the entire people, give it to the most intelligent first. If intelligence, justice, and morality are to have precedence in the government, let the question of the woman be brought up first. . . . There is not the woman born who desires to eat the bread of dependence, no matter whether it be from the hand of father, husband, or brother; or any one who does so eat her bread places herself in the power of the person from whom she take it. — Susan B.

Answer 1

In the excerpt, Susan B. Anthony is expressing her opposition to the exclusion of women from the Fifteenth Amendment. She argues that if suffrage is not granted to everyone, it should be given to the most intelligent first, and emphasizes the importance of women's rights and their desire for independence rather than dependence on men.
