Two key people I did research on are Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Anthony was the leader of women’s rights and the abolition of slavery, which later on led to her starting a nation convention with her partner, Elizabeth Stanton. They were both against slavery and were always speaking out against it, and that is what led them to wanting to create groups to help other women cope with their problems. When Elizabeth traveled to London with her husband, who was a deligate within the anti-slavery convention, women were excluded from hearings. Together, Anthony and Stanton crusaded and organized more conventions, which led to Seneca Falls. Seneca Falls was the first convention held that kicked off the womens rights convention, created by Anthony and Stanton. The convention at Seneca Falls only had 300 supporters but they gained more supporters as they continued to succeed. Anthony originally wasn't for the women's rights campaign, she thought it was going to fail and she treated it with a lot of a humor lightheartedness.
