Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a key figure in the women’s rights movement in the 19th century, advocating for social justice and gender equality. She is best known for organizing the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, where the Declaration of Sentiments was adopted, demanding equal rights for women, including the right to vote. Stanton championed liberty and freedom for all, emphasizing that true equality includes the rights of women and marginalized groups. Her secular approach separated social justice from religious dogma, allowing for a broader, more inclusive dialogue about rights and liberties essential for a just society.
