Women's Rights was a hard battle fought by the women in the early 1800's to make everyday life more equal for them. Back in the day, women were not allowed to do many things like voting or working. Even if the worked, they got lesser pay than men. After getting fed up with these unjust rules, many women started to stand up for themselves. Three such women were Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott and Susan B Anthony.
While visiting an anti-slavery convention, Mott and Stanton had to sit in a quiet, roped off area and they were not allowed to speak. Mott and Stanton did not like this and they wanted to speak out. They put together their own convention in New York called the Seneca Falls Convention, where women could express their feelings on the way they were being treated. Susan B Anthony led many protests and speeches about how women should be treated equally. One can see, how these women influenced and helped the women's rights movement.
