Who were the abolitionists? What did they want? Were they a majority?

2. U.S. History I Ch. 14.3 The Women’s Movement
Women start to campaign for their own rights!
Goals:
Discuss the beginnings of the women’s suffrage movement, and the most important figures involved, including Lucrecia Mott, Elizabeth Stanton. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Blackwell.

3. Women’s Rights
Women who campaigned for rights for slaves also realized that they ought to get rights for themselves. Two important ones were Lucretia Mott, and a friend, Elizabeth Stanton. After the Seneca Falls Convention (review Sojourner Truth’s Speech) many other women joined their ranks in calling for equality. Susan B. Anthony was one of the most famous of these leaders of the Women’s Rights Movement.

4. Advancements in Suffrage
It took several decades for women nationwide to get the rights that they wanted. Stanton and Anthony became the best of friends, and campaigned for women’s rights for the rest of the 1800s.
The Wyoming territory granted women the vote in 1869, and Utah in Other states followed slowly over the next several decades. It wasn’t until the 19th Amendment in 1920 that suffrage was allowed nationally. Suffrage for all

5. Progress by American Women
During the 1800s, women made many gains in different areas. For instance, many women weren’t allowed to keep property from a divorce, but several states changed that, including California, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, etc.
New job opportunities opened up to women during this period. Most up to this point had been seamstresses or teachers (though usually paid less than a man). Elizabeth Blackwell, who wanted to study medicine, a traditionally all-male profession, helped break down some of those barriers.
Sadly however, social customs and traditions meant that many changes desired by these abolitionists, temperance workers, suffragettes, etc., would have to wait a few more years…but change was coming!
