Not part of the questions, but extra information

Benjamin Franklin - "Rules and Maxims for Promoting Matrimonial Happiness."
Judith Sargent Murray - "On the Equality of the Sexes."
Even Abigail Adams, wife of future president John Adams, chimed in on granting equal position to women in the newly forming American government. During the drafting of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 she wrote to her husband:

I long to hear that you have declared an independancy and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I would desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.

Adams and the Ladies' Declaration both discuss men having power over women. Both ask that women be granted equal status.
