A Brief History of Women's Rights Movements

The struggle for women's rights have been around since the founding of our country. The Women's Right Convention in Seneca Falls New York was one of the first movement to introduce a written request of women's rights and equalities equal to men. This convention set the hopes higher for following conventions emerging with some of the greatest women's rights advocates of our time such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone. Almost two centuries after these women became the ratification of the equal rights amendment to the constitution. These workshops also lead to more recent activist groups such as NOW the National Organization for Women.  I think that although it took quite awhile for women to be consider equal to men this women are the reason for our achievements today.  Although in many cases and places throughout the world women are still not looked upon as equal to men we have most definitely come a long way.
