Americans are based
- Many of the grievances in Stanton's document
sought to address or redress the condition of
women on economic, social, and political
grounds.
- one of the opening grievances sought to change
the relationship that existed between men and
women, one that was predicated upon
"tyranny."
- The "elective franchise" was also one of
the grievances, helping to bring to light
that the right to vote was something
denied to women in America, the young
nation dedicated to democratic self- rule.
- Radical for its time, the document
addressed the disparity in "wage"
between men and women, something
that is still present today.
- At the same time, the document wanted to
change the position of women in clerical
institutions, where "He [patriarchal authority]
allows her in church, as well as state, but a
subordinate position, claiming apostolic
authority for her exclusion from the ministry,
and, with some exceptions, from any public
participation in the affairs of the church."
- The Declaration of Sentiments and
Resolutions was drafted by Elizabeth Cady
Stanton
- The convention that followed was
groundbreaking. More than 300 women and
men from abolitionist, Quaker and reform
circles attended the two-day Seneca Falls
Convention, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton read
a document that set out the group’s agenda.
It was directly based on the Declaration of
Independence—a convenient format and a
bold statement on the equality of women.
- Women drafted the Declaration, but they weren’t
the only one to argue on its merits and
eventually sign it. The final copy was signed by 68
women and 32 men, many of whom were the
husbands or family members of women present.
- Since 1950, the
percentage of women
participating in the
labor force has nearly
doubled, from about
34 percent of women
holding jobs outside
the home then, to
about 60 percent now.
Greater economic
opportunities for
women have meant
that they have more
options and choices in
life than they had
before.
- one of the opening grievances sought to change
the relationship that existed between men and
women, one that was predicated upon
"tyranny."
