Question 8 of 16
8. Question
Questions 8–16 are based on the following passage.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a women’s rights activist and 8 had been a leader in the movement that eventually secured American women the right to vote. Her early education, upbringing, and interest in social matters set her on a path of leadership, 9 and she inspired other men and women to take up the cause as well.
10 Susan B. Anthony was clearly focused on the issue of voting rights for women. Elizabeth Cady Stanton had a different approach. She wanted to promote the broader issue of women’s rights. Her concerns included women’s custody and property rights, employment and income rights, separation and divorce laws, birth control, and abortion. Although Anthony and Stanton disagreed on the focus of the women’s rights 11 movement, they remained friends, and, continued working together towards voting rights for women.
Stanton remained focused on her 12 work; writing many important books, documents, and speeches for the women’s rights movement. She also traveled and lectured widely, earning money to pay for her sons to attend college. Stanton promoted voting rights 13 in women in several states, and made an unsuccessful attempt to secure a U.S. Congressional seat from New York.
As Stanton grew older, she became more active internationally. In 1888, she worked to found the International Council of Women. In the U.S., it took until 1890 for the divided supporters of the women’s rights movement to eventually reunite as the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and Stanton became the organization’s first president. However, after spending over five decades working towards equal rights for women, Elizabeth Cady Stanton died in 1902, still some twenty years before women gained the right to vote. 14
Because of her 15 controversial ideas, Elizabeth Cady Stanton was initially overshadowed by Susan B. Anthony, who was more frequently 15 recognized as the founder of the women’s rights movement. Over time, however, recognition of Stanton’s work has increased. Elizabeth Cady Stanton became 15 acknowleged for taking a founding role in the women’s suffrage movement. 16
