Elizabeth Cady Stanton • Elizabeth Cady Stanton lived in Seneca Falls with her husband and children. In 1840, she attended the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London. None of the women delegates to the convention were allowed to speak at the meeting. They were all forced to sit behind a curtain. “We do not propose to petition the legislature to make our husbands just, generous, and courteous, to seat every man at the head of a cradle, and to clothe every woman in male attire. “
The Seneca Falls Conference • At the Seneca Falls convention, Stanton read the "Declaration of Sentiments" to the assembly. This document was based on the Declaration of Independence, and it argued that women and men should be treated equally.
