- participation in war work
- the civil war had important effects on women, both sides relied
on their home fronts to support the troops by running farms and
plantations and working in some factories. women found
themselves taking charge of the households in the absence of
men. women raised funds and tended to the wounded.

a handful of women who were active in the abolition and
temperance movements, the convention was intended to call

- some famous women
- there were some energetic, pioneering individuals, like elizabeth cady stanton (suffragist,
social activist, abolitionist and leading figure in the early women's rights movement) and
lucretia mott (her speaking abilities made her an important abolitionist, feminist and
reformer). these women were prepared to organise and lead women's rights groups.

- many roles limited to traditional female
concerns
- when women worked it was often in lower-paid, casual
employment, domestic service, or in unskilled and poorly
rewarded manufacturing jobs. where they worked alongside men
in farms they were expected to bear the burden of domestic
chores as well as helping with agricultural work.
