In the 1800s, women began to compare their lack of rights to that of enslaved people. This comparison highlighted the injustices faced by both groups, as women sought to draw parallels between their struggles for autonomy, legal rights, and social recognition with those of enslaved individuals fighting for freedom and dignity. This rhetoric helped to galvanize the early women's rights movement and increased support for abolitionist causes.

Women's rights began in Seneca Falls, New York.
There were actually two women's rights movements. One, called First Wave Feminism, began in 1848, when a group of women gathered for a conference at Seneca Falls NY; they wanted to work towards greater legal rights for women as well as gaining the vote (women's suffrage). The next women's rights movement, called Second Wave Feminism, began around 1963, with the publication of Betty Friedan's book "The Feminine Mystique" and continued with the founding of the National Organization for Women in 1966.
