The declaration starts out saying that "all men and women are created equal" resembling the Declaration of Independence. The document then goes on to list the grievances which not coincidently are similar those of the colonists. Similarities consisted f political self determination, and property ownership, while differences consisted of things like marriage laws. At the end of the document it unique in the aspect that the women are going to resolve these issues by appealing to the popular opinion and common sense in order to achieve their rights. Another thing that sent the document aside was that it ended in a list of possible options for the goals to be achieved.
