ELIZABETH CADY STANTON!!!




The mother of
equality for women!


I recently read "Elizabeth Cady Stanton: the mother of equality for women" by Tanya Lee Stone, a book about a wowan who wanted that all the women had to vote. It´s interesting how did she struggle with all the people that were against her.

The story begins when Elilzabeth was 11 years, her father, Judge Cady, was unfair with a woman who only wanted her properties/belongings, but because she was a woman she didn´t have rights so her belongings were given to her son. Elizabeth saw that injustice so she decided to change the laws: Women must be given the right to vote and omitt the word "obey" at the weddings because it implies that the wife is less than her husband. evrybody was against Elizabeth, they didn´t support the ideas that she had. There was only one man , Frederick Douglass, who was agree with her resolution.

The main characters Elizabeth Cady, her father: Judge Cady, a middle aged woman, Elizabeth´s husband:Henry B. Stanton, Frederick Douglass.

I liked the book because that I understood it has a moral: With perseverance you can achieve everything that you want, It doesn´t matter how long can take it, and this is the one reason that I recommend it.
