During the women's suffrage movement, the national american woman suffrage association published a leaflet providing "the woman's reason" for the need to vote. those reasons included: "because over 5,000,000 women in the united states are wage workers and their health and that of our future citizens are often endangered by evil working conditions that can only be remedied by legislation, they should vote equally with men. because women of leisure who attempt to serve the public welfare should be able to support their advice by their votes, they should vote equally with men. because busy housemothers and professional women cannot give such public service, and can only serve the state by the same means used by the busy man--namely, by casting a ballot, they should vote equally with men. because women need to be trained to a higher sense of social and civic responsibility, and such sense developed by use, they should vote equally with men. because women are consumers, and consumers need fuller representation in politics, they should vote equally with men. because women are citizens of a government of the people, by the people and for the people, and women are people. they should vote equally with men." a proposed equal rights amendment states: "equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the united states or by any state on account of sex." in a paragraph of three to five complete sentences, explain the position the national american woman suffrage association would take in regard to the proposed amendment.
