8. Elizabeth Cady Stanton 1815-1902
~ Abolitionist, Women’s Rights Activist, Established first Women’s Rights Convention at Seneca Falls.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal.
Because man and woman are the complement of one another, we need woman's thought in national affairs to make a safe and stable government.

9. Sojourner Truth
Former slave, spoke at abolition and women’s rights rallies. Very popular as speaker
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.
Truth burns up error.
Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.

10. Lucretia Mott
~ Abolitionist, Quaker, Seneca Falls Convention co-founder
The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation, because in the degradation of women, the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source
I have no idea of submitting tamely to injustice inflicted either on me or on the slave. I will oppose it with all the moral powers with which I am endowed. I am no advocate of passivity.

11. Susan B. Anthony
~ Original suffragette, Unitarian, Temperance supporter
It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.
Suffrage is the pivotal right.
The fact is, women are in chains, and their servitude is all the more debasing because they do not realize it.

12. Dorothea Dix
Asylum/Prison reformer, Advocate for human rights and dignity
In a world where there is so much to be done, I felt strongly impressed that there must be something for me to do.
Man is not made better by being degraded; he is seldom restrained from crime by harsh measures, except the principle of fear predominates in his character; and then he is never made radically better for its influence.

13. Angelina Weld Grimke
~ Quaker, Southern raised abolitionist and women’s rights activist
I recognize no rights but human rights -- I know nothing of men's rights and women's rights; for in Christ Jesus there is neither male nor female. It is my solemn conviction that, until this principal of equality is recognized and embodied in practice, the church can do nothing effectual for the permanent reformation of the world.

14. Sarah Grimke
~Quaker, Southern raised abolitionist and women’s rights activist
I ask no favors for my sex, I surrender not our claim to equality.  All I ask of our brethren is that they will take their feet from off our necks, and permit us to stand upright on the ground which God has designed us to occupy.

15. Margaret Fuller
~ Transcendentalist writer, human rights and dignity a focus
In order that she may be able to give her hand with dignity, she must be able to stand alone
