The court was not concerned with what kind of citizen she was...
Sure they were! That's a ludicrous statement.

There is no doubt that women may be citizens. They are persons, and by the fourteenth amendment 'all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof' are expressly declared to be 'citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.' But, in our opinion, it did not need this amendment (the 14th) to give them that position. (of citizen)

She brought the wrong argument to court.

What argument should she have brought?
