Study Notes

Lucretia Mott and the Suffrage Movement

In 1840, Lucretia went to London for the World Anti-Slavery Convention. Men controlled the discussion, and women were relegated to a separate section.
Lucretia received more education than most girls of her time. Quakers believed in treating boys and girls the same.
At the convention, Lucretia met Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a young newlywed.
In 1848, they met again at a friend's house in Seneca Falls, a small town in central New York State. They held a two-day meeting discussing the social, civil, and religious condition and rights of women.
Over 300 people showed up at the meeting.
The organizers presented a paper patterned after the Declaration of Independence called the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions. It stated that all men and women are created equal.
Oddly enough, a demand for women's vote was hotly debated, and some people believed focusing on the vote would take attention away from other issues such as property rights and access to education.
