The fight for women’s rights started with the fight to end slavery.
Beginning in the 1820s, many women became active in the struggle for
the abolition (ab-uh-LISH-uhn), or end, of slavery.
One woman who worked hard to fight slavery was Lucretia Mott. In
1833, she started a women’s antislavery society in Philadelphia. She went
to London to attend the first World’s Anti-Slavery Convention. Women
had to sit behind a curtain. They couldn’t be seen or heard. Lucretia Mott
was furious.
Also attending the London convention was Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
She, too, was angry at the limited role that women were allowed. Even
though Mott was some 20 years older than Stanton, they became friends.
The two friends began to talk with other women who were working
to free the slaves. They talked about how hard women’s lives were. They
talked about the need to make changes. They talked about how they
might work together to fight for their own rights.
