The fight for woman’s rights started with the fight to end
11 slavery. Beginning in the 1820s, many women became active
19 in the struggle for the abolition (ab-uh-LISH-uhn), or end,
27 of slavery.
29 One woman who worked hard to fight slavery was
38 Lucretia Mott. In 1833 she started a women’s antislavery
46 society in Philadelphia. She went to London to attend the
56 first World’s Anti-Slavery Convention. Women had to sit
64 behind a curtain. They couldn’t be seen or heard. Lucretia
74 Mott was furious.
77 Also attending the London convention was Elizabeth
84 Cady Stanton. She, too, was angry at the limited role that
95 women were allowed. She and Mott became friends. Mott
104 was some 20 years older, but they shared many of the
114 same views.
116 The two friends began to talk with other women who
126 were working to free the slaves. They talked about how hard
137 women’s lives were. They talked about the need to make
147 changes. They talked about how they might work together to
157 fight for their own rights. 162
