Declaration of Sentimens

    Stanton wrote and presented a historic set of resolutions called a Declaration of Sentiments. The document echoe the language of the Declaration of Independence:
" The history of mandkind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations (seizure of power) on the part of man toward woman...absolute tyanny over her. ... Because women fo feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights, we insist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of the United States."

——Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Declaration of Sentiments, 1848
