Women’s Rights
Written by: Kathryn O’Dell
The Fight for Women’s Rights
The women’s rights movement in the United States began in the mid-1800s. The movement was broad, with goals ranging from changing marriage laws to giving women equal opportunities for education. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott were pioneers in the women’s rights movement. Stanton was a writer and Mott was quaker preacher and an abolitionist, a person opposed to slavery. At the time, it was common for activists to fight for both women’s rights and to fight for slavery to end.
Stanton and Mott were both activists and helped organize the first convention to discuss women’s rights in 1848. Three hundred people, mostly women, attended the convention. The discussions outlined several things that were unfair to women, such as opportunities for education, marriage laws, and property rights.
With a group of people from the convention, Stanton wrote the Declaration of Sentiments. They based it on the Declaration of Independence, which declared the thirteen colonies free from British rule. This statement was the first step in forming the United States of America. One part of the declaration states, “all men are created equal.” The Declaration of Sentiments declared, “all men and women are created equal.” Stanton pushed for women to have voting rights as well, although Mott disagreed. In the end, the members of the convention approved to make voting rights part of the movement.
Eventually, the movement focused on women’s right to vote, or women’s suffrage. In 1850, Stanton met Susan B. Anthony, and they worked together to form a movement only about women’s suffrage. After the emancipation of enslaved people in 1863, many activists worked toward an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow African-American men to vote. The 15th amendment, passed in 1870, allowed this right. It states, “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied […] by the United States […] on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” However, there was disagreement on the definition of “citizens,” and women were still not allowed to vote. The fight for women’s voting rights continued. However, the movement became divided, as Stanton and Anthony argued that Black men should not have the right to vote before white women. Others felt all women should

be included in the movement, like Sojourner Truth, a writer and activist who had escaped slavery.
Despite the disagreements in the women’s rights movement and in the women’s suffrage movement, women finally got the right to vote in 1920 with the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment states, “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied […] by the United States […] on account of sex.” On November 2, 1920, over eight million women voted in a U.S. election. The 19th Amendment did not end discrimination for women, but it had a huge impact. It opened the door for women to fight for more rights and continue the women’s rights movement.
