Description
History books often mark the beginning of the Women’s Rights Movement with the Seneca Falls Convention in July 1848. But remarkable women preceded Elizabeth Cady Stanton in launching the work for women’s equality. Many of them refused permission to be included in Elizabeth’s seminal history of the movement. Learn who they were, what they did and why, and who, in 1838, argued in Congress to give women the vote.
