23 ottob 1850 anni - National Women's Rights Convention

Descrizione:

Met in Brinley Hall in Worcester, Massachusetts. The first resolution from the business committee defined the movement's objective: "to secure for [woman] political, legal, and social equality with man until her proper sphere is determined by what alone should determine it, her powers and capacities, strengthened and refined by an education in accordance with her nature".[17] Another set of resolutions put forth women's claim for equal civil and political rights and demanded that the word "male" be stricken from every state constitution. Others addressed specific issues of property rights, access to education, and employment opportunities, while others defined the movement as an effort to secure the "natural and civil rights" of all women, including women held in slavery. Notable people include Lucy Stone, Lucretia Mott, and Elizabeth Candy Stanton.
