Seneca Falls, New York was a tiny village in eighteen forty-eight. Barely large enough to accommodate the steady stream of wagons filing into it. Men and women from all over the country struggled to find seating in the meeting hall. Drawn by notices and publications announcing the advent months prior, nearly three hundred people arrived to provide witness and opinion to the topic of women’s rights. Later called the Declaration of Sentiments, signers of this resolution agreed that women should…

“We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men and women are created equal” (Elizabeth Stanton 295). This quote was given in a speech called “Declaration of Sentiments” by a woman who fought for women’s rights. The quote relates to the speech given by Frederick Douglass who fought for the rights of black people.

Over the weekend, a women's march took place in California. It was a march on the raising stories that have recently been shared about sexual assault and harassment. There was an estimated amount of half-million people dressed up in all pink or brightly colored costumes. Between shouting speeches and celebrity revokes, the march was well respected for.

OH Minerva comes in with the right swing! This could possibly be the slap of the century! Ladies and gents, this is the most coolest thing since sliced bread! This is definitely a most historic event! Go Minerva, fight for those women rights! The 1940s and 50s, a troubling time for women all around the world, because they almost had no rights.

In the speech given by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a leader of the women’s rights movement, (July 19th 1848) Stanton demands that women should be given the same rights, specifically the right to vote, that men have.

The event I chose was a support group for women to promote breastfeeding in public areas with my sister, who is very active in women’s rights to breastfeeding in the Temple/Killeen area. This group was made up of women who lived on the military base in Copperas Cove and it was held at one of my sister’s friend’s house. This event was held on June 26, 2016 from 2-4 in the afternoon. It was uncomfortable at first, because many women were breast-feeding and were more open about it. The social…

During the first era of feminism a work entitled “Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions” was written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. A rendition of the…
