Explanation: Major Accomplishments
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was an American social activist, abolitionist, and an important figure in the women's rights movement. She was good friends with Susan B. Anthony, another women's rights activists and together with the help of others arranged the Seneca Falls Convention in Seneca Falls, New York. Her speech, The Declaration of Sentiments, presented at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 is often called one of the first steps towards women's rights. Stanton not only addressed voting issues but went beyond that. She talked about divorce, property rights, birth control, employment, custody rights, any many other issues. Stanton was also the 1st president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). She resigned at the age of 77, and her speech," The Solitude of Self" talked about the issues of women's rights that she had spent her life working on. Elizabeth died in 1902 because of heart failure, and 18 years later in 1820 her goal was reached. The 19th Amendment which granted women the right to vote was passed. She always wanted men and women to be treated the same, and on that day her wish came true. Elizabeth Cady Stanton's legacy was that rights mattered, throughout one's life no matter the size of the issue. She will always be remembered for that.
