Always Remember Cady

Good Evening friends and family. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born in a wealthy family in

New York and had a good education. At a young age, she married an abolitionist. I am going to

be talking about how she affected the world now days. She organized the first women rights

convention in Seneca Falls. Sadly, she was not able to see other woman vote and died in 1902. It

was two decades before the nineteenth amendment. Elizabeth’s father was a slave owner,

prominent attorney , and a Congressmen. This affected her by adjusting law to women.

She attended the World Anti-Slavery delegation as representatives of the American Anti

Slavery Society . “ However the convention refused to recognize Stanton or other woman

delegates.” When returning home, Henry studied law with Elizabeth’s father and became an

attorney. After few years they had few sons and moved to Seneca Falls, New York.” In the late

1860’s, Stanton began to advocate measures that women could take to avoid becoming pregnant.

Her support for more liberal divorce laws, reproductive self determination and greater sexual

freedom for woman made Stanton a somewhat marginalized voice among other woman.”

Elizabeth is a hero for woman who had hard times with sexual freedom. She is the one who

supported woman rights. She spoke of women’s rights before the U.S congress giving a famous

speech called the Solitude of Self. She really is a role model for many women.

The Declaration of Sentiments offered examples of how men oppressed women such as”

preventing them from owning land or earning wages, preventing them from voting, compelling

them to submit laws created without their representation, and subjecting them to a different

moral code then men. “ All of these examples give a clear detail on how Elizabeth Cady Stanton

benefits the world that we have now is developed. “ As a busy homemaker and mother , Stanton

had much less time than the unmarried Anthony to travel the lecture circuit, so instead she

performed research and used her stirring writing talent to craft women’s rights literature and

most of Anthony’s speeches. Both women focused on women’s suffrage, but Stanton also

pushed for equal rights for women overall. “
