Early American Feminism

Early American feminism emerged in the 19th century, focused on advocating for women's rights, including suffrage, education, and legal equality. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony challenged societal norms that limited women's opportunities and autonomy. This movement laid the groundwork for future gender equality efforts, emphasizing that women deserved the same political and civil rights as men. It was a response to widespread inequalities and helped shape the broader struggle for women's rights in the United States.
