Women's Rights
Introduction
Today, we're going back in time. To the 1800's actually. Women did not have rights. Now let's go on a magical* journey that will teach us the history of women's rights.
*Not actually magical
Rights Women Did Not Have
Rights They Didn't Have
Women couldn't speak to a public audience that had men in it. They had to be silent during meetings too. Women authors couldn't sign under their name and either had to sign under a man's name or sign as anonymous. Any money or items a women supposedly had actually belonged to their husbands. Not cool. And the most famous non-right they had was: Voting.
Conventions
There have been other conventions, but a more known one was the Seneca Falls Convention. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony led it together. Stanton bended the Declaration and said that "all men and women are equal."
Conventions
NAWSA
The National American Women's Suffrage Association actually started out as the National Women's Suffrage Association, which was run by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. It's goal was to secure voting rights for women, and the American Woman Suffrage Association had a similar goal. In 1890, the two organizations joined under the name of the National American Women's Suffrage Association.
Supporters
Some women supporters were Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott. Some men supporters were Fredrick Douglas (he supported Elizabeth Cady Stanton at the Seneca Falls Convention when she was criticized.), George Francis Train (he launched a women's newspaper called the Revolution.), Thetus W. Sims (He showed his dedication to women's suffrage by voting even when his arm and shoulder was broken), and James Mott (he signed the Declaration of Sentiments.)
