Detailed explanation-1: -Their stance led to a rift with other women’s suffragists and prompted Stanton and Anthony to found the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) in 1869.
Detailed explanation-2: -Together, they launched a national woman’s suffrage movement, published the newspaper The Revolution, and lectured, lobbied, and protested for equal rights.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stanton and her colleague, Susan B. Anthony, were more than advocates for votes for women – they sought a wholesale social revolution. With roots firmly planted in the temperance and abolition movements, both Stanton and Anthony pushed women’s rights in a more radical, political direction.
Detailed explanation-4: -Heralded as the first women’s rights convention in the United States, it was held at the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, New York, on July 19 and 20, 1848.
