 One
of the Women’s main goals was to live
without fear for their life of freedom. This was
because women back then didn’t have the rights
to vote, or to own property.
 Another major goal for the women was to have
the rights to privacy, marriage, family life,
political rights, and equality.
 Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton
formed the National Women Suffrage
Association in May, 1869. The primary goal of
the organization is to achieve voting rights for
women by means of a congressional amendment
to the Constitution.

Sarah Grimke, and Elizabeth Blackwell.
Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Stanton
all met at the world anti slavery convention in London,
England where they were all kicked out for being women.
Sarah Grimke was one of the first women to speak in
public.
Susan B. Anthony fought so hard she was arrested for
voting in the 1872 presidential election. Anthony was
also the first women to have her face put on a coin.

One method that they used was that they gave speeches
to the public. They did that because they knew that the
rest of the people had a say in weather or not women
should have a right to vote.
Another method is that they had street dancers and
bonfires. They had that kind of activity because it
attracted all kinds of people. Some talked about what
their opinion was and some just listened, one person that
spoke out a lot was Susan B. Anthony. She talked out to
the public tried to get them to agree that not letting
women vote was wrong.
Also they went to different conventions and they talked
to whoever showed up and tried to get them to agree with
them, but only so many of them showed up and there
was only about 140 women and around 50 men at each
convention.
 The
Seneca Falls convention occurred in 1848
over 300 people attended 40 of them were men.
 1890 the National American Women's Suffrage
Association is formed.
 1893 Colorado is the first state to allow women
to vote.
 1920 the 19th amendment is made giving all
women the right to vote.
 1973 abortion becomes legal in a 7-2 vote in the
case Roe vs. Wade.
