In the early 1800s, women did not have as many rights as men did. Women were expected to take care of the house, family, etc. Overall, women had little or no education, after marriage, they had to give up everything they had or owned to theirs husbands, and they had limited freedom. Until two women stepped up and wanted to put an end to all the discrimination against women. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott gathered a group of women to talk about the movement in 1848, it was called the Seneca Falls Convention. In that convention, they talked about all the things they were fighting for, this included, the right of equal education as men, right to vote, and equal treatment under the law.
