Description
"Elizabeth Stanton's father wished that Lizzie had been a boy. That way people would have recognized her extraordinary talents and accomplishments. But Lizzie didn't want to be a boy. She just wanted girls to count as much as boys did. When she got older, Lizzie believed that women should have the same rights as men -- and that included voting! Lizzie wasn't about to stay home and do what was expected while men made all the decisions. She wasn't even going to wear full skirts if bloomers were more comfortable. In 1894, when Lizzie spoke out at a convention in Seneca Falls for women's right to vote, her husband was so embarrassed that he left town. But that didn't stop her. Lizzie made it her mission to travel around the country, talking about equality for everyone. She will never be forgotten." --
