How did Elizabeth Cady Stanton achieve her dream?

Answer 1

At thirty-three years of age, Elizabeth began to voice her opinion on women's rights. She later developed a group of men and women who formed the first Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York. Because of Elizabeth's deep determination and ability to never give up, the world would never be the same again for women. Elizabeth was voted the president of the Woman's Suffrage Organization in America. This organization changed the lives of women by reassuring their determination to make sure women had the right to vote. The Woman's Suffrage Organization also fought so that women could have the same equal opportunities, as well as educational and employment opportunities, that men had. Through this organization, Elizabeth Cady Stanton met Susan B. Anthony, another Woman's Rights Activist, and they became close friends and worked as a team, to change the world for women. In 1848, with the help of Stanton and Anthony, the Married Woman's Property Act of New York was passed. This act allowed women to be able to have custody of their children, hold property, make contracts, keep their own earnings and inheritance, and sue in court.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton died in 1902, just 17 years before the Women's Suffrage Amendment was passed in 1919. But this Amendment would in no way have passed without the determination and courage of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Without Elizabeth Cady Stanton, women would not have the same equal rights as men, today.
