Origins of the Women's Rights Movement
Library Binding
(Mason Crest Publishers Sept. 1, 2012)
In the 1800s, women were second-class citizens. By law, married women were owned by their husbands. Women had no political rights. They could not vote. They could not hold office. By custom, women did not dare speak before men in public.But some women refused to be silenced. They saw wrongs in the world that needed fixing. Women abolitionists, lectured, circulated petitions, and lobbied lawmakers. This title covers the movement's early leaders and the fight for a woman's right to be a true citizen of the United States.
