Think About It
- What names come to mind when you think of the women’s rights movement in America?
- Can you recall any popular activists who supported women’s suffrage?
Equal Rights
At the forefront of the women’s rights movement were two women, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. Susan B. Anthony is another woman who fought tirelessly for equal rights for women. Each of these three ladies experienced discrimination for being a woman which drove them to do something about the unfair treatment they received. They all participated in meetings and events promoting equal rights for women and encouraged other women to join with them for the cause.
