From an early age, Elizabeth Cady realized that men held unfair advantages in just about every facet of life: Education, occupation, legislation, property ownership, even in clothing style - and she was determined that she would embrace and speak out for reform. In 1848 Stanton was one of the chief organizers of the first United States Woman’s Rights convention at Seneca Falls, New York. Her “Declaration of Sentiments” stated the understanding that “…all men and women are created equal…” and the Convention adopt a resolution for the necessity of Woman Suffrage – The Vote! Soon after the 1848 Convention, Susan B. Anthony would join forces with Stanton and the two would spend the rest of the century tirelessly speaking, writing, petitioning, and fighting for women’s rights in the United States.
