“There would be nothing like this happen if you would stay at home.”
On Monday, March 3, 1913, clad in a white cape astride a white horse, lawyer Inez Milholland led the great woman suffrage parade down Pennsylvania Avenue in the nation's capital. Behind her stretched a long line with nine bands, four mounted brigades, three heralds, about twenty-four floats, and more than 5,000 marchers.

Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, two American activists in the movement to
abolish slavery called together the first conference to address Women's rights

had been that Mott had been refused permission to speak at the world

delegate. Applying the analysis of human freedom developed in the Abolitionist
movement, Stanton and others began the public career of modern feminist
analysis

We
hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal;
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form
of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who
suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of
a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its
powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety
and happiness. Idea for personal document.
