Answer:

Anthony presents evidence from dictionaries, including a law dictionary, that define a citizen as a person. She asks a rhetorical question: Are women persons? This does not need an answer because of course women are persons. No one could reasonably argue that women are not people. Then, she uses logical reasoning to show that because women are people, they are citizens entitled to rights given to everyone by the Constitution.
