I’m heartened to learn that quite a few men - Wendell Phillips, George Thompson, George Bradburn, Mr. Ashurst, Dr. Bowring, and Henry B. Stanton - used their prominent voices to champion equality for women. This is one case where I can support the act of the powerful speaking for the marginalized because this was one of the first steps in the fight for human equality. Therefore, there was truly only one powerful demographic - white men. I noticed that Henry B. Stanton is Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s husband. With some further research, I discovered that the two of them got married on May 1, 1840; I wonder if the marriage was before or after the convention, and if so, how their relationship affected a forum such as this. Did it matter at all that she was the wife of an outspoken member of the committee? I’d like to learn more about how they as a couple (and other couples) approached and influenced women’s suffrage, if that information is pertient and/or
