“The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.”

Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815 – 1902) was an American suffragist, social activist, abolitionist and early leader of the women’s rights movement. Stanton helped write the Declaration of Sentiments – a document modeled after the Declaration of Independence – that offered examples of how men oppressed women, such as:

• Preventing women from voting
• Compelling women to submit to laws created without their representation
• Subjecting women to a different moral code than men
• Preventing women from owning land or earning wages
• Preventing women from gaining a college education
• Aiming to make women dependent and submissive to men

The Declaration of Sentiments called for social and legal changes to elevate a woman’s place in society.
