“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one portion of the family of man to assume among the people of the earth a position different from that which they have hitherto occupied, but one to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to such a course.”
I created this document called the "Declaration of Sentiments". I'm going to get many people to sign it at our convention. It dramatizes the need for womens rights.
That's a good idea!
We've been paid half as much as men for TWICE as much work, we cannot vote, cannot own property, and we are treated unfairly.
yeah!
I'm Elizabeth Cady Stanton, this is Lucretia Mott, and we put together this convention because it's time we act instead of just sitting around and taking it! Sign this document to get our point across!
SENECA FALLS CONVENTION 1848
-- 1920
Hooray!
we are now ratifying the 19th amendment, giving women the right to vote.
