Portrait of Minnie Fisher Cunningham Minnie Fisher Cunningham Petition from Minnie Fisher Cunningham of the Texas Woman Suffrage Association (1916)

We respectfully call your attention to the fact that our National Government is supported by the taxes collected from women citizens as well as men citizens, tho that is going directly against that cry for political liberty which our fore fathers threw into the very teeth of their oppressors -- "Taxation without representation is TYRANNY"! And we feel that legislation which affects all of the women of this nation has the same right to consideration by Congress that other important legislation should receive.
