Pioneers of Women's Rights: Stanton and Mott's Legacy

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott were key figures in the fight for women's rights in the 19th century. Stanton was born in 1815 and became motivated by her father's law books, while Mott's passion was ignited by the wage gap in education. Their historic collaboration began at an anti-slavery convention in 1840, leading to the first-ever women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. Together, they laid the groundwork for future generations, championing equality and paving the way for women to vote, culminating in a significant victory in 1920.
