- Women Aboishnists were trying to convince law makers to make slavery illegal, yet this was seen as weird because women themselves didn't have rights either. They weren't even allowed to speak their own opinions, vote, or even speak at the meeting. Despite this, they still did their best to end slavery for good. Women abloisnists, while fighting against slavery, started the organized movement for women's rights. It all began when Lucrietta Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton met when they were fighting for making slavery illegal in 1840 at the World Anti-Slavery Convention.
- The reason we needed the Women's Rights Reform was because, obviously, women did not have rights. They were not allowed to do many things. For example, they couldn't vote, speak at the meetings, the same jobs as men, own property, etc. This was clearly an issue at the time which was the reason they decided to do what they did. So, Seneca Falls helped create an organized campaign for women's rights. The campaign, of course, led to the Women's Rights Reform Movement. The reform movement allowed women to have control over property and wages, get the jobs they worked so hard for, start speaking their mind at the anti-slavery meetings, but what took the longest was the right to vote as a woman.
- The reformers in this reform were Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucrietta Mott, and Susan B. Anthony. The reformers would eventually get what they, and other women, have wanted for decades...rights. Stanton wrote powerful speeches for Susan. New York finally gave women control over their property and wages, and Massachusettes and Indiana passed more liberal divorce laws. Elizabeth even opened her own hospital while becoming the first female doctor, thanks to this reform movement. They modeled the Declaration of Sentiments (proposal for women's rights) after the Declaration of Independance.
