Through religious reflection in 1832, many women realized that they had little rights. Many women’s rights activists, such as Abby Kelley, began their activism with anti-slavery speeches and rallies. As their activism progressed, many women accepted that they were being oppressed. Abby Kelley later would state that women “have good cause to be grateful to the slave,” for in “striving to strike his iron off, we found most surely, that we were manacled ourselves.” Many women went on tours giving ant-slavery and women’s rights speeches around America, but they were met with threats and anger. One of Kelley’s speeches in Philadelphia even caused men to burn the convention hall to the ground because they were so angry about a woman speaking in public. In 1920, women finally got the right to vote 72 years after the crucial beginning campaign of Seneca Falls.

When she arrived, she was not allowed to speak and she was hidden from view by curtains. After she returned home, she resolved to “form a society to advocate the rights of women”. She attended the Seneca Falls convention in 1848, which ended up being the most significant protest gathering of the antebellum era. From this convention the idea that “all men and women are created equal” was born. Stanton, working with Susan B. Anthony, continued 
annual conventions throughout the 1850’s where they used persuasion and petition campaigns to achieve equal rights on politics, property, and legal rights, and eventually earned women’s sufferage  in 1920.]]> 2017-12-06 13:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bwest13/m2k1zufk9nz6/wish/213672016 bwest13 https://padlet.com/bwest13/m2k1zufk9nz6/wish/213675731 After seeing the other movements taking place (slavery, right to vote, etc.) the women of this time period realized they needed a reform of this own. Abby Kelley caught for the right for women to speak publicly. In modern day society, many of of leaders are women and we do not have to fight to publicly speak. Women in this time period also changed the past idea that women must stay at home, take care of the children, and do housework. Today we are aware that women are just as capable as men, but this idea would not have been developed if it wasn't for the women of the 1800s. They also diversified their jobs and changed their traditional clothing. Today we maintain the idea that "all men and women are created equal" and live our life's without thinking too much about our rights. ]]> 2017-12-06 13:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bwest13/m2k1zufk9nz6/wish/213675731
