Declaration Of Sentiments By Lucretia Mott And Elizabeth Stanton

In Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s text “Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions,” she states her opinion and the opinion of other women of her time, about The Declaration of Independence and that it is a demand for freedom to one-half the entire race. Which was all men. This text really connects to me and I agree with her view on the subject of The Declaration of Independence. In the beginning of Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions Stanton starts off with a statement about how the course of human events and laws of nature declare that God entitled mankind the position of people among the earth.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born in November 1815 to Margaret Livingston and Daniel Cady in Johnstown, New York. She was educated at Johnstown Academy and Emma Willard's Troy Seminary and her father tutored her in law. Having lost her brother Eleazar in 1826, Elizabeth sought success to console her father. After her graduation from the seminary in 1833, she developed an interest in reform politics through staying at her cousin, Gerrit Smith's home one summer. She soon met her husband Henry Stanton and their honeymoon was spent at an 1840 international anti-slavery convention in London.

Introductory Paragraph: The Funnel Introduction “Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less,” acknowledged by Susan B Anthony (brainyquote, page 1). Unlike the Declaration of Independence talked about the quality of men, but it left women out. The quote of Susan B. Anthony is adding women in society to have a say in their rights. Equality means to have the same rights as one another and having it based on gender could be what tipped off Susan from the start. To have a part in our country’s decisions is one of the goals yet to be established later on.

The “Declaration of Sentiments” and “Declaration of Independence” are documents written to show equality of women and men. They both have the same common theme, rights and equality. In the “Declaration of Sentiments” it explains the struggles for women with voting rights, getting an education, and having different morals than men. Why are women so feminized ? Why are men shown to have all the power?

“To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity” - Nelson Mandela. Since the beginning eras, several injustices have sparked in order to achieve human rights. Human Rights were advocated since the foundings of America until present day. This concept has become a major controversial issue worldwide.

She stated that government should used the word “GOD” to identify who should receive the freedom, because God created everyone equally and everyone are the same.

Throughout this time period women took a backseat in representing their on independence. The most liberating account I read was Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s’ “ Declaration of Sentiments.” It stood out to me, because it was unique and remarkable just as any of the other women two women in the Women’s suffrage movement. Her creative use of the Declaration of Independence as her framework makes the letter similar.

Is she angry that women of her mother’s generation could walk the streets freely, enjoy the company of the opposite sex, join the police force, become pilots, live under laws that were among the most progressive in the world regarding women?” Based on this evidence, readers can assume that this example is talking about the times when freedom was available to women, when they could do what they wanted without having their options limited by others. This piece of evidence is important to note because during the time of the older generations, they had freedom because other people demanded for equal rights for women. However,

The men were soon imprisoned by the women and they were overpowered by them. Their imprisonment was an education about the culture and language of the civilization Herland. Feminism can be looked at through culture,

The government has changed so much since 1776 that equality means men and women are equal. In July 1848, about 260 women and 40 men met at a women's rights convention in Seneca New York. At the convention they adopted a Declaration of Sentiments, in the declaration it stated that men and women are created equally and these rights should be obvious to the people.

Their mental and physical states are damaged. Yet this new regime claims to have helped women. The regime is a new protector as ““women in the past were not protected” (Atwood 24).

Wasila Boussari History Mr. Lyons June 17 2016 All women should have rights. Since a time farther then the history textbooks show, women have fought for their freedom against their attacker. Their attacker is society, and those who believe a girl is just an object, a maid, a trophy to be flaunted. Still, it is only taught, their fight, at the beginning of World War 1.

Women in the United States have achieved in overcoming what society has placed them as irrelevant and only as figures. Before 1920, they had less social power than men, primarily not able to earn income to support themselves. The women created women's movement to speak that not only men have rights, but also women too. They had gone from being only housewives to women that are able to have rights in voting, buying property, and their own bank accounts. Today men are facing issues in society as well.

"It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent." The above quote said by the feminist, Madeleine Albright clearly indicates that being a women, you are not heard as much. And once you are heard it is important for people to understand where they are coming from. This is because women are targeted for abuse and always tend to deal the dominance of men. They believe they are superior just because they suppose they are more stronger and smarter than women.
