Rights as citizens? Not really. Remember, we didn't get suffrage until 1920...years and years after the DofI.

Technically, most rights were with land owners. In many cases, women who owned land, mostly widows, had as many rights as the male land owners.

No. Black people had the right to vote before women did, if that tells you anything.

no. women did not receive their rights; they had to FIGHT for them. susan b. anthony and many other brave women protested and fought for women's rights sometime in the 1800's or 1900's. (sorry i can't remember the year)
