as men had in the 19th century. Elizabeth Cady Stanton Was an American Women’s rights activist who demanded the rights for women. She Wrote the Seneca Falls Declaration. This document was the beginning of the women’s rights movement. She does a tremendous job constructing her declaration because it is basically modeled after the declaration of independence.

In the speech, “Solitude of Self (1892),” by Elizabeth Cady Stanton she goes into great detail about what personal individualism means and its importance to women as a whole. Stanton at the time was already well-established speaker at this point and this speech would be the pinnacle of her already illustrious speaking career. Although she lived a long life (1815-1902), she was still unable to see the fruits her labors materialize into what it is today. When the speech was first spoken it was in

The speech “Women’s Right to Suffrage” by Susan B. Anthony, is the most compelling and persuasive because she explains to the United States that, “Women are people, people are citizens and should be treated equally”.

Women and African American slaves were still not being treated equally in 1873 almost 85 years after the Constitution was put into action. Within the speech many rhetorical devices were included to create a sense of

In Florence Kelley’s speech delivered to the National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1905, the author employs empathetic repetition, strong facts, and piteous diction to inspire as many people as possible to work against child labor.

In 1848, the women's suffrage movement began in Seneca Falls, New York; for the next 50 years women protested and educated American citizens on the validity of their movement.
