Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a prominent women’s rights activist, feminist, editor, and writer during the 19th century. She accomplished many achievements, even some after she died. Those achievements changed the role and view of women in the United States. Even at an early age, Stanton showed her desire to excel at things that men usually did.

Also, many other women who may have contributed greatly to the world in general, such as famous writers, inventors, or artists, may not have been recognized simply because they were a woman. Equality between sexes is very important for the better of a society. With equality, everyone is heard and respected, which is necessary to be able to make the world a better
