Stanton & Mott

Stanton & Mott


Two women, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, got together and started a group for women who wanted to promote equality for women in America. They met up and talked to come up with a plan to get other women on board for promoting equal rights for women so they would have lots of support in whatever they decided to do.


As time went on, the groups they started did gain more members, both men and women, who believed that women should be given the same opportunities as men. Support for these groups continued to grow as well. Eventually, little by little, women were granted more rights such as suffrage, which is the right to vote. America became a place where people of both genders, man and woman, and every race had equal rights.
