Storyboard Tekst

  • My Friends, my name is Elizabeth Cady Stanton and this is my friend, Lucretia Mott, and we are gathered here in Seneca Falls on this day in 1848 to reform and advocate for Women's Rights.
  • To help you understand the need for this reform, for the men in here, allow me to put you in my shoes, our shoes, for what you can do that we cannot.
  • Another day, another law that allows women to do things only men could do
  • Stanton and Mott met in London and have worked together since to come and talk to people on this historic night where the Women's Rights Convention took place.
  • My name is Lucy Stone and I had an amazing opportunity but then the law shut it down because i was a woman, I want to help fight, I think that I can be of some assistance.
  • Excuse me, Lucretia Mott?
  • What is it?
  • Welcome to the fight, there is always room for more help
  • Women at this time could not vote, hold office, speak in public, own their own land, control their own money, and practice professions like medicine and law. These rights were reserved for only men
  • I can't help but think about how things would be different if we never met that day...
  • First, New York gave women control over their property and wages, then Massachusetts and Indiana passed more liberal divorce laws, then Elizabeth Blackwell started her own hospital for women to work at and to learn how to practice medicine, and eventually, after more hard work, they earned the right to vote.
  • Anti- Slavery Convention, London, 1840
  • I see they caught you too, what is your name young lady?
  • Lucretia Mott
  • Elizabeth Candy Stanton, and you?
  • Lucy Stone graduated from Oberlin College in 1847 and people wanted her to give a speech. Turns out she couldn't because she wasn't allowed to speak in public because she was a woman and the college had rules that said that a man had to deliver the end of year speech. It was events like this that led to the fight for women's rights.
  • At an anti-slavery convention in London in 1840, both Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott were told that they were not allowed to speak and had to sit behind a curtain. To think how different the world would look today if they hadn't put aside their differences and worked together.
  • The two couldn't have been more different, Lucretia Mott was 47 years old, the mother of four children, active reformer, spoke against slavery in both white and Black churches, help people find schools for Black girls. On the other hand, Stanton was 25, newly married, never spoken in public, her father was a judge, she knew the law never favored women, but together, they changed the world
