I have never seen anything that says the Emancipation Proclamation or the 13th Amendment only freed men. Do you have a source for that?
Did women have the right to vote, to open a bank account, to live without a man controlling them?
Was it legal to own a slave who was a woman? Did women legally have the same rights as other women, regardless of skin color?
Clearly there weren’t equal rights, just as clearly as the end of slavery didn’t mean the end of racism, but this event is significant enough to stand on its own
