for Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Authors

Martha Solomon, University of Maryland

Abstract

In 1863, Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a 48 year-old New York resident who had already made her mark as a lecturer, feminist, temperance advocate, and abolitionist. While she credited her drive for education and her considerable eloquence to the early influences of her father, it was the shameful exclusion of the women delegates at the 1840 London Antislavery Convention that served as the catalyst for her feminist activism.¹ She helped organize the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention to advance the cause of women's rights, and from then until her death in 1902 she remained a powerful speaker, writer, and philosopher for the movement.
