The words deprived and oppressed

Step-by-step explanation:

The focus of the Declaration of Sentiments was to make public the oppression of women and the grievances women have. In this excerpt, the author refers to some of the rights women do not have including the right to be a citizen or vote. As part of this, the author of the text uses words with a negative connotation or that are associated with negative feelings, ideas, experiences, etc.

This includes the use of the word "deprived" and the word "oppressed" because both of these words are shown how women are limited or how they lack something men have, which is associated to negative experiences and negative concepts such as lack of freedom, control over women, among others.
