@1margaretsanger YES allow women to have the right to choose what they want to do with THEIR bodies. “When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit.” #MyBodyMyChoice

As I strongly support abolition of slavery, Anthony and I counted controversy during Reconstruction by opposing the 14th & 15th Amendments, which enshrined black voting rights in the https://t.co/sYcAwwPY8s centered on the use of the phrase “male citizens: in the 14th amendment.

I also advocate for employment opportunity for women. I forever changed the social and political landscape of the United States by succeeding in my work to guarantee rights for women and slaves.

There also should be equal education for both men and women. When only men are able to get an education, it doesn’t allow women to also have the same opportunities. If women are able to get education, they can possibly become as successful as men.

As I am very pro government control which would result in change in both the public and private lives of women-regarding property rights.

[Elizabeth Cady Stanton @Elizabethcady22]

I continuously choose to fight for women’s right. As my passion for women’s rights was forged during childhood. #womenrights

It is important for us to ban alcohol for the sake of women and moms who are being heavily affected by mens action with alcohol! #banalcohol

I am one of the leading figures of the early women’s rights movement and I am best known for my efforts in writing the Declaration of Sentiments for the Seneca Falls Convention and for organizing the women’s suffrage movement in the United States.
