She was born in Johnstown, New York in 1815 in slavery times. As a young woman, her father, who became a New York Supreme Court judge, guided her in the study of the law. She later married a lawyer named Henry Bewster Stanton and they both became active members of the American Anti-Slavery Society. During the U.S. Civil War, she and her husband worked to abolish slavery before the Lincolns government. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and a friend, Lucretia Mott attended the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London. The women were furious when they were denied their seats as delegates and refused permission to speak at the meeting. They resolved to hold a convention as soon as we returned home and form a society to advocate for womens rights. In 1848, they organized the Womens Rights Convention at Seneca Falls, New York that issued what has come to be known as the Seneca Fall Manifesto. It was modeled on the Declaration of Independence and declared that all men and women are created equal. Stanton broke with many leading male abolitionists, including Frederick Douglass, over the idea that the right to vote for black men after emancipation should take precedence over suffrage for women.
