She held multiple meetings, such as Seneca Falls and she was also the author of the Declaration of Sentiments. ]]> 2017-11-01 19:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/10116011/vib6ceqdy323/wish/202684638 1012200 https://padlet.com/10116011/vib6ceqdy323/wish/202685641 Throughout her life, Mott was dedicated to secure emancipation for the oppressed such as women, African Americans, or people bound by strict religious doctrines. She gave credibility to the most radical of causes at the time and was an influential figure who initiated the movement for women’s rights. ]]> 2017-11-01 19:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/10116011/vib6ceqdy323/wish/202685641 10116011 https://padlet.com/10116011/vib6ceqdy323/wish/202685876 The convention marked the beginning of the women’s rights movement because women first publicly demanded the right to vote. The idea was so radical that the reactions from critics and the public were very negative since they have never challenged the social order before. ]]> 2017-11-01 19:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/10116011/vib6ceqdy323/wish/202685876 1012200 https://padlet.com/10116011/vib6ceqdy323/wish/202687480

Women gained the right to vote in 1920 (19th amendment; aka Susan B. Anthony Amendment). Only one woman who attended the Seneca Falls Convention was alive to see the law come into action.

New York law granted women the right to control their own wages, to own property acquired by trade, business, labors, or services, and assume sole guardianship of children if widowed.

Higher standards were set for them. 

More educational and job opportunities were opened up to women and their salaries had greater potential to increase (though it didn’t exceed a man’s).  Women were able to head into male-dominant careers in law, medicine, clergy and corporate. This gave women more hope.

Movement is still strong: did not end with voting rights (one unifying cause during 1800s)

Has evolved to include several other elements such as sexuality, job opportunities, family law

Prior to this women had still been fighting for rights, but not as openly and aggressively as this. This document unified the feminist movement and key players in the fight for equality.]]> 2017-11-01 19:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/10116011/vib6ceqdy323/wish/202691716 1012200 https://padlet.com/10116011/vib6ceqdy323/wish/202691919
