Objectives I, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a leader of the women’s rights and suffrage movement, hope that as a group we may create equality for women. American society has isolated women and discriminated against them, allowing them no equal rights. Achievements In 1848, I have called for a women’s rights convention. Which there I drafted the Declaration of Sentiments and had it approved at the convention. I have also been the author of the Declaration of Rights of the Women of the United States. Additionally, I have led the National Women Suffrage Association. I along with many other fellow suffragettes signed the Declaration in the Centennial Books of the NWSA. The Tools We Used to Achieve Our Goals We traveled around the world doing speeches and holding conventions. “Word of Mouth” was our primary tool to achieve our goals. We brought people together who believed in the same cause and discussed what we wanted to happen. We formed a united front and developed a united strategy and plan to improve American life. Federal Help The government could help further our cause by supporting us and proposing legislation. Also, having someone from the president’s administration coming to our conventions and showing that our cause is important and legitimate, is another way the federal government could help. References Susan B. Anthony- She was a fellow leader of women’s rights and suffrage. She was a very close friend. And I wrote her speeches for her. Lucretia Mott- We met at the World-Anti Slavery Convention. She was denied her seat and afterward we discussed the need for a women’s rights convention. She was also a fellow leader of women’s rights and suffrage. Works Cited “Elizabeth Cady Stanton.” __National Historical Park.__ 20 Aug 2009.
