Women's Rights
Frederick Douglass, a former slave and abolitionist leader, stood with Elizabeth Cady Stanton at the Seneca Falls Convention and argued for women's right to vote. One hundred people signed the "Declaration of Rights and Sentiments." The Declaration wasn't just about women getting the right to vote.
