The problem of action

Action implies a close connection between objects. All persons are entitled to act; but the manner of action of each is different. The actor maybe described as a man; but the term "man" refers to the whole human species, and so a woman is an actor too. But if the term "man" expressly refers to the male, it should be taken to be so.

There are some who believe that a woman cannot own property; but she can do so; only she is second to man; but what belongs specially to her is the power to bless and to remain chaste.

A further discussion on the subject maybe read at:
