To the Senate and Assembly of the State of New Jersey
The undersigned, citizens of Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, pray
your Honorable body to take such steps for the amendment of the Constitution of this State
as will secure Women their right to vote.
Also, We pray your Honorable body so to amend the statutes of this
State that Married Women may make a valid will of all property, real,
personal and mixed, in the same manner that all other sane adult persons are now free to
do.
Also, That a widow may be entitled to the life use of the whole
of the deceased husband's real estate, as the widower is now to the life use of the whole
of his deceased wife's real estate.
Also, That a widow may succeed to the ownership of the whole
of her deceased husband's personal property, in the same manner that a widower now
succeeds to the ownership of the whole personal property of his wife.
