She was a leader in the American womens rights movement.

In 1848 formulated the first organized demand for women's suffrage in the

United States.

Elizabeth Stanton received a superior education at home, at the Johnson

Academy and also at Emma Willards Troy Female Seminary.

She graduated in 1832.

She learned of the discriminatory laws under which woman lived when she

was working for her father, Daniel Cady, who was a U.S congressman and

later a New York Supreme Judge.

In 1840 she married Henry Brewster Stanton, a lawyer and abolitionist.

 In 1848, Stanton and Lucretia C. Mott, a pioneer reformer who founded

the organized womens rights movement in the United States, issued a

call for womens rights convention to meet in Seneca Falls, New York.

From 1851 she worked closely with Susan B. Anthony, together they

remained active for fifty years after the first convention.

They planned campaigns

Spoke before legislative bodies

Addressing gatherings in conventions, lyceums, and in the streets.

Stanton, who was the better orator and writer, was complemented by

Anthony, who was the organizer and tactician.

In 1854 Stanton received an unprecedented invitation to address the New

York legislature.

Her speech resulted in new legislation in 1860 granting married women

the rights to their wages and equal guardianship of their children.

In 1863 she and Anthony organized the Womens National Loyal League,

which gathered more than 300,000 signatures calling for immediate

emancipation.

In 1868 Stanton became co editor of the newly established, The

Revolution, a newspaper devoted to women's rights.

autobiography, Eighty Years and More in 1898.

Sojourner Truth was born into slavery in 1797, originally called Isabella

Baumfree, and died in 1883 at Battle Creek, Michigan.

She would become one of the most powerful advocates for human rights

in the nineteenth century.

When she was young she spent her childhood on a New York estate

owned by a Dutch American, Colonel Johannes Hardenbergh.

Around 1815 she fell in love with a fellow slave, Robert, but were forced

apart by Roberts master.

She was instead forced to marry another slave, Thomas, with

whom she had five kids.

In 1827, after her master failed to keep his promise of freeing her, she ran

away. After experiencing a religious conversion, she became an itinerant

preacher and in 1843 she changed her name to Sojourner Truth.

 It was during this period she got involved in the growing antislavery

movement, and by the 1850s she was involved in the womans rights

movement.

At the 1851 Womens Rights Convention held in Ohio, Sojourner Truth

delivered what is now considered what is now recognized as one of the

most famous abolitionist and womens rights speeches in American

History.

Harriet Tubman was born in Maryland in 1820 and died on March 10, 1913.

She was born into slavery in Maryland and escaped to freedom in 1849 to

the north to become the most famous conductor of the Underground

Railroad. Two of her brothers, Ben and Harry, came with her.

Due to a $300 reward however Harry and Ben had second thoughts and

returned to the plantation. Harriet however had no intentions of returning

to slavery.

She risked her life to lead hundreds of families and other slaves from the

plantations to freedom.

She earned the nickname Moses for her leadership.

In 1850 the dynamics of escaping slavery changed due to the Fugitive

Slave Law, it meant that escaped slaves could be captured in the North

and brought back to slavery.

Because of this law Tubman rerouted the Underground Railroad to

Canada.
 In April 1858 Tubman was introduced to John Brown, abolitionist, who

advocated the use of violence to disrupt and destroy the institution of

slavery.

They both shared the same goals.

Tubman remained active during the Civil War working as a cook and

nurse for the Union Army.

She was the first woman to lead an armed expedition in the war.

She also guided in the Combahee River Raid, which helped to free more

than 700 slaves in South Carolina.

As Tubman got older the head injuries that she suffered earlier in life

became more painful for her. She went through brain surgery to try and

help the pain.

She ended up dying from pneumonia on March 10, 1913.

She was buried with military honors at Fort Hill Cemetery in Auburn.
