Women are not chattel… women are not inferior…. Women deserve the same rights, freedoms, and responsibilities enjoyed by men. Elizabeth Cady Stanton stood up to oppression and served as an inspiration for generations of women who have fought for equality. Women have made tremendous progress as they have fought for their rights… and, what is amaz[...]
