Rights For Women

Elizabeth Cady Stanton helped start the begging of women’s rights. She and many other women, did many things so men and women could be equal. The articles, The Birthplace of Women’s Rights and A Powerful Partnership, both state what Elizabeth Cady Stanton did with other women and herself alone.

The Birthplace of Women’s Rights-Elizabeth Did It Alone

This article, talks and explains more information about what Elizabeth Cady Stanton did to help women’s rights all alone. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was very determined to start the Women’s Rights Convention. She wanted everyone to know what position and state women were in. There were declarations, petitions, and conventions to exaggerate the cause of women’s rights. She

That is why the article is more effective, because it states facts about only Elizabeth. Although, the article, A Powerful Partnership, states facts about Elizabeth, it also states facts about another woman who helped women have rights. That women, is Susan B. Anthony. So the article, A Powerful Partnership, does not include information on the contribution of Elizabeth Cady Stanton herself. It includes information on Elizabeth and Susan. That same article, says that they were a great team and that they shared many ideas together. It talks about two people’s contributions, not just one person’s contributions, which is the part that is being focused on. The article, The Birthplace of Women’s Rights, has a greater effect, because you learn about Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s contribution, not anyone else’s. Even though the other women’s contributions are important too. That same article states information about how Elizabeth started the Women’s Rights Convention with four others, how she spoke at the convention, and how she fought for women to have the right to

    Elizabeth Cady Stanton was just one of the many females that played a key role in the women’s rights movement. Although she did not develop her own rhetorical devices within her Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions, she did make it very evident that her purpose was to make this declaration as effective as the Declaration of Independence was. She did this by modeling her declaration after the one Thomas Jefferson constructed. The Seneca Falls Convention was where the declaration was first discussed and presented. Instead of focusing on a new government separated from King George, she focused on a government that would equally include women into participation.…

    The Historic Seneca Falls Convention July 19th and 20th in 1848 will forever be in our history books as one of the most important conventions advocating for women 's rights. The Seneca Falls Convention was the very first of its kind in the United States. Hundreds of people, mostly women and a handful of men, attended the convention, which was organized by a group of women involved in the abolition and temperance movements. The main hosts of the event were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, who were also involved in antislavery movements as well. The reason the convention was held was due to these women who wanted to bring national attention to the unfair treatment and inequalities that all women faced compared to their male counterparts.…

    The efforts Stanton undertook finally paid off in 1920, when the nineteenth amendment was passed. This was the goal Stanton was striving for ever since she decided to express her beliefs through establishing the women’s rights movement (Sigerman 128, 130). Some of the key aspects of Stanton’s leadership role was her positive encouragement to other women to continue to fight for their rights, dedication to securing rights for everyone, and courage for standing up for what she believed in. For instance, Stanton always encouraged future women to continue to fight for women’s rights until all rights were obtained. If it was not for her strong beliefs and determination to finally obtain women’s rights eventually, the future of women had a substantial chance of being different (Hogan, “Wisdom, Goodness And Power: Elizabeth Cady Stanton And The History Of Woman Suffrage.…

    Stanton and her companions drafted "A Declaration of Rights and Sentiments" to summarize their concern and modeled their text after the Declaration of Independence, adding "and women" to the phrase "all men are created equal." A very famous contemporary was Abigail Adams, wife of John Adams. She was one of the first women who tried fighting for women's rights by writing letters to her husband requesting to "remember the ladies" in drafting the country's founding documents and laws. She also wrote that they should not "put such unlimited power in the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could."…

    I believe that between “The Birthplace of Women’s Rights” by Howard Mansfield and “A Powerful Partnership” by Jean McLeod and Karen Gibson, that “The Birthplace of Women’s Rights” by Howard Mansfield more effectively developed the contribution Elizabeth Stanton made to the women’s rights movement. It better depicted her life than “A Powerful Partnership.” It showed more of her life than anybody else’s and showed what happened because of her. “A Powerful Partnership” was based not only on her but on Susan B. Anthony so it did not show much of what Stanton did. “The Birthplace of Women’s Rights” was more about her therefore more effectively developed her contribution.…

    From the construction of this nation, to becoming America, this nation has promoted three main concepts: liberty freedom and equality. The conspiracy between the founding concepts and the idea of who is granted these privileges was still to be determined in the following years to come. Since the creation of this nation, women were unprivileged as their natural rights were not taken into consideration. Women in the 1700’s were seen as strictly domestic housewives continuing with the perception that women belonged at home and men belong in the work force. For the most part, women were seen and treated as property.…
