Stanton initially believed that the requests made at Seneca Falls would quickly bring about change for women because she felt that the principles of equality and justice were gaining traction in society. The momentum from the broader social reform movements of the time, such as abolitionism, gave her hope that the call for women's rights would resonate and lead to swift reforms. Additionally, she was optimistic about the potential for public support and legislative action in favor of women's rights. However, she soon realized that societal attitudes and institutional barriers would slow down the progress.
