    Judith Sargent Murray writes a letter to Mr. Franklin to dispute his claim that a marriage's happiness depends solely on the woman. She argues that marriages require equal effort from both partners, with each giving 50%. Murray disagrees with Franklin's suggestion that wives should not question their husbands and remain happy even when their husbands throw tantrums, stating that women have rights, freedom, and deserve respect not just as a husband's standby but as independent thinkers.

    Dear, Mr.

    Franklin

    I am writing this to show my opinion about a topic you have stated recently. As a woman, I feel that it’s
    a requirement for me to write this to you to make sure you get an understanding. It did not amaze me
    whatsoever on the fact that you believe a marriage’s happiness is dependent on the woman in the
    relationship. Today, I am writing this to prove that you are indeed mistaken with this fact. Marriages are
    mutual and split among both partners. The MAN has to give 50% effort and so does the woman. You are
    saying that women are supposed to be alone and give all of the 100% effort. We do not take orders from
    you MEN, are not inanimate object, and should not be treated less than a human being. You also
    mention that wives shouldn’t question their husband’s knowledge and to remain happy while their
    husband throws a tantrum. We women have a right and freedom. We shall think freely and deserve the
    respect and credit. Not from a husband’s standby.

    With great respect,

    Judith Sargent Murray
