Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the Declaration of Sentiments
Captions available
The idea
Stanton, a lawyer's daughter with an informal legal education, met Lucretia Mott on her honeymoon and with her convened the first women's rights convention at Seneca Falls in eighteen forty-eight. She wrote its resolutions, modelled on the Declaration of Independence, holding that all men and women are created equal.
In practice
The Declaration, rewritten for women.
Where people slip
The form is the argument.
