This is a very interesting story, about how two women set out to voice their opinion.On the injustice of women at an anti-slavery convention.This was in the eighteen hundreds, when women were treated basically like slaves. Unfortunetly they where denied a chance to speak. This is what Stanton says, "The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward women, having in direct object the establishment of an absloute tranny over her" (Stanton 51). Since mankind was released from the holes of a cave. Mankind has treated his woman like a piece of property. Gradually over time, and experience mankind has come to realize that a woman is a gift from  the almighty God. Those of us that believe in God, has realize this truth. Some of us don't believe in God yet has allowed their women to have a vioce. I personally do believe in the almighty God that rules this world that we live in. Stanton further says, " He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men- both natives and foreigners" (Stanton 51). This was an anti slavery convention, that argued about whether it was right for women, to give their vioce on voting.Anti slavery means that they were against the system of slavery but not willing to allow women the right to vote. The Indians were conquered and abused, and denied the right to vote. Black people were kidnapped and brought here by force and denied the right  to vote. We all have finally broken the chains of being denied to some point. Finally in my conclusion of this great event. Everyone who has been denied justice must continue to persever these injustices.

  1. Yes,during this era it was hard for women to think or believe in themselves. Stanton states, "He has denied her the facilities for obtaining a thorough education---all colleges being closed against her"(Stanton 51). Men knew if he could keep the women from persuing education he could control her. Once women received the right to education they could see what was holding them back. I believe two heads are better than one. Women please continue to fight on.
