The women’s right movement was marked by the Elizabeth Cady Stanton in Seneca Falls, New York.  She set up a convention by passing a public notice that stated “A convention to discuss the social, civil, and religious rights of women will be held in the Wesleyan Chapel…”.  Later on Stanton along with Susan Anthony ( a long time teacher) teamed up to join the fight of equal rights for women. They set up hundreds of meetings, petition drives, and lectures and throughout eleven years they organized a national convention.  Later on they realized that in order to succeed they had to follow the footsteps that the Abolition Movement has taken.  Thus the Revolution was born.  Their headlines read “Men, Their Rights and Nothing More; Women Their Rights and Nothing Less”.  It took until the year of 1919 that American journalism began to treat the “Women’s Right Movement as the major social and political revolution”. In a 1893 interview with the Chicago Tribune Anthony stated, “ If the man own the paper- that is, if the men control the management of the paper- then the women who write for these papers must echo the sentiment of these men. And if they do not do that, their heads are cut off”. What she stated is the truth. If a man doesn’t approve of something a woman wants to do then it is dismissed.
