Elizabeth Cady Born on November 12, 1815, in Johnstown, New York, Elizabeth Cady Stanton was an abolitionist and leading figure of the early woman's movement. She was greatly inspired by the Rationalist idea that everyone, through hard work and kindness, can be good and deserves basic human rights. However, she applied this concept to more than just white men – she believed African Americans and women were also capable of achievement and deserved rights.

Signed by 68 women and 32 men—100 out of some 300 attendees at the first women's rights convention to be organized by women.
