An injustice righted but holes were left that keep women from independence well into the 1970s. Bank accounts and credit cards which kept them tied to a male.
Awesome story of the beginning that changed our country for the better. Thank you Tara.
Absolutely enjoy reading about the Brave Women who stood up to Injustice so long ago. It sparks the Human Spirit in the dark days moving forward. Thank You, Tara, I think you've found your calling?!🤗 Will reStack ASAP 💯👍
Tara you certainly opened a can of worms with this piece of history. Reading through the comments so far I am choosing to pretty much refrain from commenting on the subject matter except to say the two women highlighted were exceptionally intelligent and courageous people.
The holy book of Christians was written by men who chose to include works that placed men as superior to women and women as subservient to men. Good for Stanton to see through this charade.
Well...she may have seen through the injustice, but as I commented, above, it was Susan B. Anthony who received the recognition, legacy and glory since Cady Stanton ultimately chose to procreate and become tethered to The Old Ways she tried to change.
For context (in case it helps), this was my initial comment on Tara's piece.
"This is a different piece to highlight. I champion all who refuse to accept what I refer to as 'errors of The System', as no system is "perfect" (for all). For that,l salute Elizabeth Cady. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, however, according to this piece, limited her own brilliance by eventually following expectations to procreate- giving way for the great (and more renowned, thanks to Mrs Stanton's travel decisions) Susan B. Anthony.
Life is Life...so I won't say The World may have been "robbed" of some Elizabeth Cady brilliance; but, I wlill venture into writing a piece about ramifications of decisions brillant subject themselves to- creating obstacles that allow others to adorn relinquished legacy."
In Life, there is a balance to Everything. Procreating may save and/or destroy The Country. My response to Tara's piece, however, was not a commentary of "an old way" (traditional wjfe stays home and has children), so much as it was about Choices. Tara's article depicted a remark whereStanton intimated she deserved more credit for The Movement. If procreation is salvation as you suggest, then Susan B. Anthony made the ultimate sacrifice for The Cause- whereas Stanton's choices created more of a hardship to her abilities to do more (for The Cause/Movement). She, still, could have become Susan B. Anthony+...but she didn't. Presumably...that was her own choice.
Wow. I learn something every day from you Tara. Thank you!. I didn't know much about Elizabeth Cady before today. Of course, I knew of Susan B. Anthony but not of the collaboration between the two.
I have never understood why women were not given equal rights to men in the Constitution, including the right to vote. Nor do I understand wage disparity. Maybe my mother and my community raised me better.
I also believe that it is past time for a woman president. The right woman, like a woman such as Condoleezza Rice.
I half agree with you, but we didn’t live 200+ years ago so I will forego any commentary of what our forefathers did. As to a woman President, I think that time has nothing to do with it, it is a matter of having the right woman to run for that position. So far, none have chosen to run. The two that tried so far have not been the right choice.
Freedom provides for citizens to rise up in an effort to help form a more perfect Union by correcting what are considered cultural norms for a society at a certain period of time. We tend to superimpose our current culture on society of the past and it doesn’t work. Thank God we are a free people and better because of that freedom.

The foundation of a well founded truth is often constructed in obscurity. God bless all those people who labored below the horizon until the sun rose on the issue.
The work of the suffragettes was remarkable and long-lived. In our day it is taken for granted, but society was not always that way. It seems strange, but where they would allow a queen, they would not allow women the vote… The women’s vote is a very important part of today’s voting public.

Well done. Thanks for sharing such a monumental life that changed many lives by going after and living a truth that affected so many.

You really are not following principles of interpretation of history very well to assume that, Paul. Most modern theologians would deny your premise.

Having children is not an old way. It is the way we save our country.

And both women surely would have been delighted. What an understatement. Their efforts have still not been fully accomplished in our government.

Condi Rice is always my default vote when I don't like the presented candidate choices.
👏👏👏👏👏
Another powerful piece of American history! Thanks Tara. Such a timely share of history

Did they even imagine that the as yet unacheived Equal Rights Amendment would become so important.
