Women not allowed to participate[edit]

@Abbeynick: I was unable to find any explicit statement in the proceedings that women were not allowed to vote or otherwise participate in the convention. If it is present in the text, the page number should be specified. Admittedly, I did not encounter any mention of a female delegate, though absent some other information, it would still be speculation that women were not allowed to participate.

Note that most of the digitized versions of the proceedings do not include OCR text, but the Hathi Trust link includes a full text search capability. Fabrickator (talk) 03:16, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
