Abstract
This paper explains that, at the mid-point of the nineteenth century, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and her so-called "Ladies of Seneca Falls" objected to rules and regulations and norms of "proper" behavior laid down for them by men and which required that women forfeit their legal existences once they marry. The author points out that Cady Stanton's so-called racial period began when she started having doubts about religion; therefore, freed traditional religious obligations, she turned to a form of religious liberalism. The paper stresses that Elizabeth Cady Stanton's theme was "feminine individualism": Women were every bit as good as men and should not be treated as if they were somehow inferior.

From the Paper
"While other names pop up throughout the decades, it is still the strength of Cady Stanton that kept the movement alive and vivid. It was she who righted the ship when another feminist activist was accused of an adulterous affair. In fact, 1876, the one-hundredth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence was sought as a time to promote women's rights. Lobbying by influential women, including Cady Stanton, produced a special "Women's Building" erected on the grounds of the Philadelphia Exposition in 1876. Cady Stanton, and some others, planned to write a Declaration of Women's Rights, to be read in that building on July 4th. Although the central force dealt with denial of voting rights, Cady Stanton also included "articles of impeachment" against those in charge of the government who refused to recognize the equality and rights of women."

Abstract
This paper reviews the biography of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who lived from 1815-1902 and includes biographical data on the author plus a listing of her published books and articles. It looks at how Banner's book includes detailed documentation, based on primary sources, of Cady Stanton's life and participation in the early years of the women's rights movement. The review covers all aspects of the historical period as described by Banner, concluding that while a massive amount of helpful information on this period is discussed and revealed, some readers may find the work plodding and overly inclusive.

From the Paper
"Banner is obviously sympathetic to the feminist cause, yet she attempts to describe the burgeoning women's movement and Stanton realistically, describing strengths, weakness, and inconsistencies as well as offering possible factors that influenced her thoughts and actions. The author seems determined to discuss every possible influence that might have effected Stanton. The extensive index allows the reader to check out how Elizabeth Cady Stanton reacted to contemporary influences like Marxism, communitarianism, birth control, other feminists, temperance, John Stuart Mill, slavery and just about every other idea that was around during her lifetime."

Abstract
This paper explains that Elizabeth Cady Stanton is credited with the authorship of "The Seneca Falls Declaration" (1848), the seminal of the United States feminist movement, which then was called woman's suffrage because women, along with African Americans and Native Americans, were still disenfranchised. The author points out that, after the death of her brother, young Elizabeth vowed to do all in her power to become manly, which, to her, meant becoming learned and courageous, so she studied Greek, learned to ride a horse like a man and developed an independent intellectual life. The paper relates that when she listed all the economic grievances in the "Declaration of Sentiments", from denial of educational opportunity to making her 'civilly dead' upon marriage, Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the first to describe the double-standard, a concept that still lingers.

From the Paper
"By the time, the married Elizabeth Cady Stanton moved with her family to Seneca Falls, NY, in 1937, her life had degenerated into the typical one of a rural woman of her era: too much looking after too many people, from children to servants. While she slaved, white men's rights were expanding and reformers, among them Susan Anthony and Lucretia Mott, recognized that "Jacksonian equality was rhetoric as far as women and slaves were concerned." Still, there had been other small movements. During the 1830s, it became possible for married women to own property that had brought into a marriage and the money they earned; this eventually undermined male dominance to a small degree. The changes had not, however, been altruistic, a representation of the uncommon notion that women were morally superior to men."

Abstract
This paper discusses the life and achievements of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who was one of the most prominent leaders of her time for women's rights. The paper discusses her fight calling for women's right to vote in the United States. The paper also compares her life and achievements to those of Lucretia Mott and her long-time friend, Susan B. Anthony, who were also both very active in women's rights.

From the Paper
"In 1878, nearly 30 years after the first convention aimed at working for women's suffrage, Matilda Joslyn Gage and Stanton wrote Declaration of Rights of the Women of the United States, which Anthony delivered at the Centennial Celebration of 1876 in Washington, DC (NPS, PAGE). Gage and Stanton remained interested in other social issues as well, and started working on a "Woman's Bible" that would present Christian beliefs without encouraging the subjugation or devaluing of women (NPS, PAGE). Once Stanton's children had all achieved adulthood, she became president of the National Woman Suffrage Association and later of the National (Griffith, 170)."

Abstract
This paper introduces Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a revolutionary feminist of the nineteenth century who wrote extensively and promoted women's equality while also railing against those forces in society that she saw as keeping women in their place. The paper traces Stanton's life, from her birth in 1815 to her marriage to antislavery orator, Henry B. Stanton. It examines Elizabeth Stanton's activist career as writer, as president of the National Woman Suffrage Association and as co-cordinator of the Seneca Falls Convention which resulted in the 'Declaration of Sentiments' - a call for equal rights for women and African-Americans. The paper also looks at the activities led by Stanton which paved the way for women's franchise in America, two decades after her death.

From the Paper
"The amendment would in effect grant suffrage to African-Americans, a goal Cady Stanton, Anthony and their female colleagues had long supported. But it would do so in a manner that pointedly excluded women. Penalizing states when "the right to vote . . . is denied to any of the male inhabitants," the 14th amendment would introduce gender restriction into the Constitution for the first time (Frost and Dupont 169).
Anthony and Stanton saw this as an expansion of male suffrage, and they tried to generate opposition among other members of the movement. Her former allies refused: They would support the amendment, they explained, because the former slaves needed the power of the ballot to protect their freedom, rights and dignity. Cady Stanton didn't disagree with that analysis but demanded, "Do you believe the African race is composed entirely of males?" (Frost and Dupont 169)."

Abstract
This paper explains how Stanton helped organize the Women's Loyal National League, founded and presided over the National Women's Suffrage Association and spent the greater part of her adult life as one of the primary intellectual and public figures in the fight for women's rights. Despite these achievements, this paper discusses how Stanton was not very well-known.

From the Paper
"In the mid-1800s, the most cherished view of women was that they represented Home and Mother. These were sacred duties, almost on par with religious, eternal truths to which society generally adhered. Biologically, as well, women were considered inferior to men - both in terms of physical strength and intellectual capacity. Women's roles were to nurture men of genius, which was an act of unsurpassed importance if men of genius were to evolve and society were to advance in any way. To challenge this status quo meant not only discomfiting pre-conceived religious and social norms, it meant challenging the very core of "civilized" society."

From the Paper
"Although they did not live to see the fruits of their effort, the work of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton was key in advancing the social reform issues in the nineteenth century, mainly that of women's suffrage. "

Abstract
This paper presents the important contributions of each individual in shaping the history of the women sector as they fight for their rights and liberation from the patriarchal and oppressive American society during their time.The author presents Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who organized the first women's convention, the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, where the "Declaration of Sentiments" was publicly announced the base for the 19th amendment in the US Constitution. The paper cites that Betty Friedan's psychological and social analysis of the American women sector paved the way for a new women's rights (feminist) movement, giving women the opportunities in a society previously dominated by men.

From the Paper
"John Quincy Adams is the second president of the United States and one of the main proponents for the formulation of the US Declaration of Independence. Adams figures into the women's rights history because he is the spokesman for the Declaration of Independence proposal in the Congress during his term as a legislator. The drafting of the Declaration of Independence became an important chance for women to assert their rights in the society, such as the right to vote and have jobs/roles equal to that of men's roles and jobs. The formation of the Declaration of Independence became an important issue as Adams considered the significance of the inclusion of women's rights to the law that will be formulated. Despite the influential opinion of his wife Abigail Adams to take into consideration the rights of women in the society, Adams have a different view of how the Declaration of Independence will be crafted?that is, women's rights will not be included in the said law."

Abstract
This paper begins by comparing speeches by civil rights activists Martin Luther King, Jr ("I Have a Dream") and Malcolm X ("The Ballot or the Bullet"). It explains and compares the differences in tones, use of imagery and other techniques which made these two speeches so memorable. The paper then analyzes "Dying To Be Thin" by Jennifer Breuer to give an example of a speech which is more clinical and informative in nature. Women's rights activist, Elizabeth Cady Stanton's speech "The Declaration of Sentiments", given at the 1848 Seneca Falls Conference is then discussed as an example of a combination of learning, education, experience, eloquence and passion.

From the Paper
"With this shift in language, and thus shift in perspective, Stanton makes a radical statement about the equality of women to men in the public sphere. This was something that most Americans in the middle of the 19th century did not believe (or had not considered). To be an effective advocate for her cause, Stanton had both to reveal and to conceal the truly radical nature of her ideas. By phrasing her analysis of women's rights in terms of the Declaration of Independence, Stanton was (implicitly) arguing that what she was arguing for was not radical, was simply a natural and even necessary extension of the rights of all and any Americans that the Revolutionary War had been fought to gain. But, by phrasing her analysis of women's rights in terms of the Declaration of Independence, Stanton was also (implicitly) arguing that her demands were as radical and as morally right as those demands made by the colonists to King George."
