Stanton, Elizabeth Cady
US women's rights and antislavery leader. She organized the Seneca Falls Convention with Lucretia Coffin Mott in 1848, and drafted the Declaration of Sentiments, which advocated equal rights for women in a variety of areas, including suffrage. With Susan B Anthony, she founded the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869, the first women's movement in the USA, and was its first president.
Stanton organized the International Council of Women in Washington, DC. She and Anthony wrote and compiled the History of Women's Suffrage (1881–86). Her other publications include Degradation of Disenfranchisement and Solitude of Self (1892), and in 1885 and 1898 she published a two-part feminist critique of the Bible: The Woman's Bible.
