Update: 2024-06-12
Description
You probably know the names Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, but what exactly did they do? You might not know the names Lydia Maria Child, Margaret Fuller, Elizabeth Miller Smith, Amelia Bloomer, Sarah and Angelina Grimke, Elizabeth Blackwell, Sojourner Truth, Lucy Stone, Carrie Chapman Catt, Frances Willard, Mary Church Terrell, Anna Howard Shaw, Ida B. Wells, and Alice Paul – but you should. In this second of a multi-part series “The Birth of the Women’s Movement”, The American Tapestry Project examines the life and times of Lucreta Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Amelia Bloomer, Elizabeth Smith Miller, the 19th century bicycling craze and women’s rights, and the legendary Sojourner Truth’s “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech.
