To end this thread with what has been held by the Supreme Court of the United States.

The Supreme Court syllabus for Minor v. Happersett.

The syllabus doubles down and emphasizes the Supreme Court opinion for Minor v. Happersett that states:

“1. The word “citizen ” is often used to convey the idea of membership in a nation.

2. In that sense, women, if born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction of the United States, have always been considered citizens of the United states, as much so before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution as since.”
